Name: Paul Gombola

Title: Program Director

Organization: Operation P.L.U.S.

Area of Employment: education

How I heard about Universal Service: Pennsylvania: word of mouth

My experience in this area:

We are an alternative education program comprised of partial hospitalization and day treatment components which serve the twelve (12) school districts in Schuylkill County. We are an innovative program offering alternative learning settings to 12-17 students with truancy and other psyco-social programs which impact on school attendance. Our goal is 12-18months of counseling coupled with specialized learning classes to re-integrate the student back to the home school. In operation 18 years we can contribute and exchange many ideas beneficial to parents, educators and students.

What I hope to learn:

Means of accessing information relative to enhancement of our educational and treatment components via the Internet. Accessing a forum for exchange of ideas with similar programs.
