Educational Aspirations & Attainment

The Maine West Education Aspirations and Attainment work is led by the Education Program Team and is supported by the Maine West Education Director who is housed at the Bryant Pond 4-H Learning Center. Maine West is working in all four districts in the region using evidence-based strategies that center around place-based learning and foster:
  • mentorship relationships between youth and caring adults 
  • connections between schools and community organizations, businesses, and other stakeholders
  • resilience to trauma and enhanced social-emotional skills through nature connection in the context of positive youth-adult mentorship

Primary areas of work:
  1. Build resilience for students (especially at the K-6 level) through networking with MW region Resilience Team members.
  2. Support the Maine West Education Program Team’s efforts to build mentorship programs in the 7-12 grade levels around the region, building off the success of the NorthStar program in SAD#44.
  3. Directly support the Maine West Workforce Initiative, which delivers Early College courses, entrepreneurship and innovation training, and workforce experiences to MW students in grades 9-12.
