Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

How can I enroll in the program?
You can enroll in the program by clicking the [Register Here] button under the session details. This will direct you to ActiveNet, the website we use for program registration. Please note that while information on all planned sessions is available, only one session will be open for registration at a time.

I tried to enroll in a program, but I didn’t see my apartment complex listed. Am I still eligible to enroll?
Unfortunately, only residents of the eight listed apartment complexes are eligible to participate in this program. During the first week, program staff will conduct address verification. Participants must provide proof of residence in one of the eligible apartments to confirm their enrollment.

What is the age requirement for the program?
The program is open to youth in middle or high school aged 13-18. Participants must meet this age requirement by the start date of the session.

I enrolled in the program, but I will miss two weeks due to a school event/vacation/sports practice, etc. Will this affect my participation?
Yes, attendance is a critical part of the program, especially given its monetary component. Participants are allowed one excused or unexcused absence throughout the program. If you know in advance that you’ll miss more than one day, please notify program staff as soon as possible. You may consider enrolling in a future session that better fits your schedule.

What happens if I miss the maximum allowed absences?
If you exceed the allowable absences, you may become ineligible to receive the monetary component for the session.
