In this episode, we talk with Bridget Isham, Black Oak Mine’s Family and Schools Together Coordinator - you will more commonly hear this as our FAST program.  

Black Oak Mine created this position and program nearly 5 years ago.  The purpose of the FAST program is to assist students, their families, and staff in eliminating all of the traditional barriers to full student attendance and academic achievement - things like transportation, food insecurity, access to counseling resources and everything in between.  Since its inception, FAST has grown dramatically and now provides a number of critically needed services to the students and families of the Georgetown Divide, including those available through our Community Resource Center.  

In this episode, we talk with Bridget about the many FAST services.
