How does AVID utilize community resources?

AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) effectively utilizes community resources by connecting students with local organizations and professionals. This approach allows students to gain real-world experience and insights that extend beyond the classroom setting. Engaging with community resources helps to enrich the educational experience by providing opportunities for mentorship, internships, and collaborative projects. Such interactions can foster a sense of belonging and relevance, motivating students to apply their learning in practical contexts and preparing them for future career paths. By involving local professionals, AVID promotes networking and opens doors for students, making education more applicable and connected to the community.
