Form 990, Part III, Line 4a Additionally, more than 50% of our students speak English as a second language. Any one of these obstacles alone could be a driving force for a young person to become a negative statistic for incarceration, teen pregnancy, school drop-outs, drinking/drug use, and truancy that is prevalent in this community. Yet because of charitable partners that support us, we are able to keep the unique needs of our students in mind and work relentlessly to prepare them for high school while addressing their emotional and social needs, promoting good citizenship, and encouraging strong work ethics through individualized curriculum and one-on-one mentor relationships. As a result of these efforts, since 2010 we have more than 92 percent high school graduation rate from our former students. There have been nearly zero instances of involvement with the criminal justice system and more than 50% of our former students have gone on to enter college. Our leadership and dedicated staff and volunteers are driven by the philosophy that the early intervention and support students receive while at BCA is responsible for laying a foundation of success as they move forward in their educational pursuits. We believe BCA and specifically our Residential Program is a critical component that helps the at-risk children we serve receive the proper care and nurturing that is necessary to grow into productive, independent members of our community.
