The DOME, an acronym for Developing Opportunities through Meaningful Education was founded in 1973 to challenge the myriad threats to youngsters who had fallen through the cracks of the traditional school system by creating an alternative school program. Since it’s beginning, The DOME Project has dedicated itself to meeting the complex needs of young people in trouble with the law, their schools, and themselves.

The DOME’s mission has always been to help youth both develop and achieve positive future goals. For more than 30 years, the DOME Project has built a staff and service network that has successfully helped thousands of young people to succeed and develop the necessary skills to gain a sense of self-worth and prepare for educational success and beyond.
