Route247’s main charge is to teach students how to embrace their own individuality and to be cognizant of their responsibility to their community. Through an online profile, students access and/or create opportunities, both within and outside of school, including: volunteering, internships, employment, scholarships or challenges. Some of these opportunities have a point value attached, allowing students the chance to accrue points and rewards. These incentives-both tangible and intangible- help nurture students’ motivation throughout the year.
