Provide educational and social services in an alternative setting for students at risk of dropping out of traditional high schools

Restrict alcohol consumption anywhere on a college or university campus or only in specific areas (e.g., residence halls)

Provide career and technical education (CTE) as an integrated part of an academic curriculum for students, especially those at risk of dropping out of high school; also called vocational training

Establish small learning communities in high schools focused on fields such as health care, finance, technology, communications, or public service

Support locally-based visual, media, and performing arts initiatives for children and adults; also called participatory arts programs

Provide space to promote socializing among community members and offer programs and services such as recreational or educational activities, counseling or support services
