The Keystone SMILES Community Learning Center was the guest at the Monday, Jan. 8 Clarion Rotary Club meeting.

Jen Arbuckle, from Keystone SMILES gave a presentation about the Crossroads Program.

Crossroads is an approved alternative education private provider through the Pennsylvania Department of Education.

“Crossroads is an alternative education program for disruptive youth, so we take kids who are not being successful in their natural educational environment and we keep them for a period of time, to help them work through goals and objectives” said Arbuckle. “We help them get turned around and either graduate or get back to their regular education.”

Crossroads is part of the Center for Learning and Service programs that Keystone SMILES offers the Clarion County community.
