<p><strong>Teens who have suffered traumatic experiences and are rejected by society for harmful actions shouldn&rsquo;t be denied a second chance. Rather than discrediting the potential of these young men, our team at Pierceton Woods Academy (PWA) pours into them with therapeutic, vocational, and academic programs that pave a way for youth to reenter society with hope and healing. PWA provides two evidence-based programs: Sexual Health and Relapse Prevention (SHARP), and Substance Abuse, Behavioral &amp; Emotional Regulation (SABER). The vocational program equips youth with tangible skills and work experience to provide a greater opportunity to find employment after leaving our campus. PWA operates an on-campus, year-round school, where students receive a combination of self-paced online curriculum and electives (such as art class, small-engine, and woodworking) taught by licensed teachers and specialized instructors. Join our team today to help youth in need.</strong></p> https://piercetonwoodsacademy.org/
