HWSC in Binghamton
Hillside Work-Scholarship Connection helps Binghamton students stay in school, earn their high school diplomas and prepare for higher education or employment.
Currently, HWSC is working with more than 140 students at 1 Binghamton City School District. These young people receive 360-degree support from school-based Youth Advocates who help them develop good habits, acquire social skills, and achieve their potential for success at home, in school and at work.
A Model that Works
Year over year, HWSC’s model brings positive outcomes for participating students, their families, and their community. Across all regions in 2023, 92% of students who stayed with the program throughout high school received their diplomas. And that number jumped to 100% for students who held part-time jobs with a Hillside Employment Partner. (These and other insights are included in our latest HWSC Outcomes Report).
Regional Employment Partners
Binghamton-area employers are invaluable partners in the success of HWSC and our students. HWSC Employer Partners recognize the importance of a new generation of ready-to-work young people. We’re proud to collaborate with these partners to link HWSC students with individualized resources and experiences that make such a difference in their lives.
