The mission of the ARK Educational Resource Center is to make a significant impact on keeping students in school who might otherwise fall through the cracks by providing comprehensive, holistic support services to keep them engaged in learning and achievement through graduation and beyond.

Our vision is to prepare disadvantaged youth for life success through strategic planning and exposure to culture, opportunity and resources; motivate each student to set short-term and long-term personal, academic and career goals; stimulate the excitement of discovery and creative thinking and learning for application and growth; and to prepare tomorrow's leaders to be innovators and critical thinkers.
