Literacy sessions develop skills in critical thinking, reading comprehension, writing, and public speaking. After participating, ARC youth respond more positively to statements including, "I am developing good health habits", and "I deal with frustration in positive ways."

The academic-year program is embedded in two high schools in the region, offering thousands of participant program hours of outdoor and leadership instruction each year. The program is unique and impactful because: (1) ARC staff have long-term relationships with students, and they find belonging within ARC, among their peers and the adult staff members; and (2) The curriculum integrates literacy development (especially writing and public speaking) into the more traditional aspects of outdoor education (recreational activities and leadership development). 166445 0 0 The academic year Community Leadership Program of ARC in the Central Valley region is an immersive, multi-year program progression that increases access to four goals areas - literacy development, outdoor experiences, leadership development, and community building - for rural, low-income and English Learner high school students.
