Going Virtual After School
C2 Pipeline continues to provide afterschool programming in 24 high school sites in the Metro-Detroit area. Our focus is to help students become ready for college and career aspriations, with a concentration on STEM. Each of our sites run at least 2.5 hours of programming Monday - Thursday. Some of our sites are hosting in-person programs, while some are still virtual. Students will be able to enroll for the career pathways that interest them the most: Health and Human Services, Science, Business and Engineering Technology. All enrichments are hands-on and project based, making it not only educational, but fun as well. Check out our Centers to see if you or your student is eligible for this program. To become part of our C2 team, simply find your school's registration tile and complete the online registration. All applications can be found by folling this link: www.waynestate.inforeadyscale.com/hub.
For any questions, contact your school's Site Coordinator or email c2pipeline@wayne.edu
