Project 206 is a 9th grade summer program focused on preparing students for high school through academic, hands-on service learning experiences. This program is in it’s 3rd year is a partnership between YMCA of Greater Seattle, Seattle Public Schools, City of Seattle and the Se- attle Youth Engagement Zone. We have designed this exciting summer program to be a fun, in- teractive, and academically and socially enriching, service-driven program for students entering 9th grade at Cleveland High School.
Program Details
Language Arts, Math Science and Eagles101 classes will be taught by certificated teachers and will focus on ensuring that students are ready to meet or exceed 9th grade curriculum standards. This focus is around the STEM program; STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, fields that are the underpinnings of modern life. The STEM Program at Cleveland High School will give students the opportunity for rigorous and advanced study in these subjects. The curriculum throughout the summer will be project-based, and students will participate in ser- vice learning projects that focus on important social issues. These activities will give students the opportunity to relate their current school experience to the world beyond. Participants will begin to set long-term goals for themselves and envision their lives after high school.
Upon successful completion of the program, which includes meeting minimum attendance re- quirements, students will earn:

At least 20 hours of service, contributing to the 60-hour high school graduation requirement
