Pledge to make a difference, together.
The mission of Orlando/Orange County COMPACT is to function as an education and business partnership assisting underachieving, disadvantaged or challenged students, encouraging them to stay in school and reach their maximum potential. Our vision is that all COMPACT students become responsible, contributing members of society. COMPACT is first and foremost a dropout prevention program that stresses the reinforcement of core subjects, service learning, goal setting, study skills, career exploration, social responsibility and civic awareness. The program strives to select students who fit one or more of the following characteristics: overage for the grade level, low grades and/or test scores, poor attendance, irresponsible behavior, low self esteem and those with personal and/or family problems. These characteristics affect students at all levels of schooling, elementary, middle and high school. COMPACT also attracts students who may be the first in their family to graduate high school and/or the first to seriously consider college as an option post high school.
