Launch pad for career transitions :
TEN PLUS is an integrated intervention for the socio economically vulnerable children to enroll to an academic line of their interest and aptitude and grow further through structured high impact academic coaching and mentoring through DSF resource centres. This programme is an extension of our HeadStart Programme that strives to reach the most vulnerable groups like children rehabilitated from Child Labour, orphans, with single parent, from troubled family situations, disabled etc. – from dire socio economic conditions who have finished their high school education.
The innate intent of the programme is to facilitate the children to continue towards reasonably good livelihood opportunities through courses and institutions of their choice and mentor them to excel in the field. The programme is strengthened by volunteer-involvement to mentor and track the performance of the participants and motivate them through committed financial support for 2 years of their post SSLC journey.
