High Rocks Educational Corporation is a global model for leadership development and transformational education for young people in Appalachia. Learning from our work with teen girls, we craft transformational experiences for young people that move them significantly and irrevocably forward in life. Our goal is to combat the root causes of poverty and apathy at their core, and we believe that the most effective way to do that is to invest in young people.   https://highrocks.org/
