Lindsey Messina, Executive Director Austin17House

"The social, emotional, and financial challenges facing our youth and families today are overwhelming. Traditional systems often fall short in their attempts to provide students and families with the tools they need to overcome these daily, real-life struggles. Seeing children and families grappling with the reality of mental health issues, substance misuse, and socioeconomic disparities has made it increasingly evident that there is an urgent need for alternative learning environments with resources that will support these families so children can be prosperous in life".

Interested in joining but don't have your own curriculum?

Let us help you! We will sit down to help research and navigate finding a curriculum that is right for you!

How we got here?

In 2023 a small group of passionate individuals came to Mark, with the vision of providing an alternative learning environment for homeschool families and parents looking for an alternative to traditional learning institutions. As parents themselves, they knew that there was a great cost that came with homeschooling, and with today's unprecedented times, the idea of parents giving up an income to support their child's education can seem impossible.

After some vision casting the team joined forces with Austin17House to talk about what this could look like, and how an environment like this would be perfect for the youth and families in our communities. The support and interest from the youth and families in our communities encouraged the Austin17House to continue down this path and establish a pilot program for the Fall 2024 year. We look forward to launching this and providing additional resources for our families in need.
