'Achieve QC' targets dropout rate Quad City Times

There’s a youthful writer in the making at J.B. Young Intermediate School, Davenport, and she has her seventh-grade language arts doctor to thank.

MacKenzie Gibson was handed a classroom assignment to write a jingle. One assignment was all it took.

“I liked the assignment a lot,” an enthusiastic Gibson said Thursday following the tender of Achieve Quad-Cities, a community-wide collaboration to curb high school dropout rates in the division.

Gibson wants to transform her newfound enthusiasm for writing into a career and plans to put down a story about a personal experience. 

For Gibson, getting a high school diploma is a “protection net” to help advance her career.

Susan Skora, president and CEO of the Community Grounds of the Great River Bend, is trying to nurture Gibson’s passion by attractive her to poetry readings and other activities. 

Gibson was matched to Skora four months ago. 

Bring off Quad-Cities uses the Big Brothers/Big Sisters model to match students with mentors for workplace visits and coaching. Volunteers such as Skora give career guidance to junior high and high school students, especially those at hazard of dropping out.
