Check & Connect is an evidence-based mentoring and engagement intervention designed to support K–12 students who show early signs of disengagement from school and are at risk of dropping out. In the model, a trained adult mentor regularly “checks” key data such as attendance, behavior, and grades, and then “connects” with the student and their family through relationship building, problem solving, and coordinated supports to improve engagement, persistence in school, and progress toward graduation. Check and Connect has been designated as the ONLY PROGRAM found to have positive effects on staying in school.
