The Center for Dynamic Learning has been helping at-risk youth build self-confidence, find purpose and passion with its hands-on, student-centered curriculum based in science, technology, engineering, arts, math and manufacturing. It’s an alternative approach to traditional classroom learning that helps keep kids engaged, gives them experience and gets them prepared for jobs in high-demand industries. Children from kindergarten through grade 12 are served through the nonprofit organization that focuses on collaboration, critical thinking and career preparation. Fifteen different experiential learning programs are taking place through the Center for Dynamic Learning, and one initiative in particular is designed to make a profound impact on the lives of some special veterans in the community.
