School feels different when you’re trying to balance real life with classwork. Maybe you’re working, helping your family, or just tired of the noise and pressure that come with a crowded campus. At Options For Youth (OFY), you get a learning model that lets you breathe a little and focus in a way that makes sense for you.

You might reach a point where you’re ready to move faster in school. Maybe you want to catch up, make steady progress, or free up time for work, family, or your own goals. 

Every year, Options For Youth (OFY) and Opportunities For Learning (OFL) host an exciting event called the Engineering Design Challenge (EDC). This student competition is designed to get high school students interested in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).

All you need is teamwork, determination, and a willingness to learn.
