Civic Empowerment has recently developed a new and innovative program in the fight against the achievement gap within urban high schools. Apogee is a high school-based fraternal organization, which motivates participants to attain academic and career success by providing effective guidance, productive networks, and by teaching the skills and strategies that promote success. More than an educational solution, Apogee is a social solution for the educational environment, which serves as a counteractive force against the social pathologies that discourage young people from academic performance.
