✨ Restaurant upkeep
✨ Customer service
✨ Retail
✨ Organizing
✨ Manual labor
✨ School/community work
✨ And so much more!

Our students are eager, hardworking, and excited to become involved in the community while gaining real-world experience. We would love to support whatever needs your business may have while creating meaningful opportunities for our young adults.

Please take a look at our informational packet below and reach out to Alison Wilde or Joann Winters if you are interested in becoming part of our ATP community for the 2026–2027 school year!

Together, we can create opportunities that truly make a difference. 💙

Please share with anyone you think may be interested!

Today was an incredible day where we honored and recognized 20 amazing ATP students as they crossed the stage and transitioned out of ATP. We are so proud of all you have accomplished and you have left a lasting impact on ATP.

Our students who are in their last year of the program participate in an aging out group to help with the transition, which includes a make an impact campaign. The students selected one teacher from CHSD218 who has made an impact on them throughout their education in the district. These staff members, along with all the staff in 218 and at ATP, have contributed to their growth and success and we thank you! 🎓💙🦅

Here is the Make an Impact Video:
