[QUOTE="nodramamama, post: 320041, member: 8374"] A friend's child went through the Job Corps program in our area and it was a wonderful experience. She was a single mom but working and owned a house, so I know that the income levels for acceptance aren't super low. The program in our area was GREAT!!! He'd had struggled with school - kept going from mainstreamed to not and back again, dropped out, etc. At one point he momentarily flamed out of the program, but they took him back - there's lots of structure, which really helped him. He eventually got his GED through the program(?), was trained as a security guard, now has a regular job, got married and is supporting his wife and kid. My friend NEVER thought it would be possible. I remember her being frustrated at the initial run-around too...I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! [/QUOTE]
