“We are incredibly grateful to Grand Sierra Resort for their generous support of Redfield Academy,” said Kim Young, CEO of The Children’s Cabinet. “This donation is more than just a gift—it’s an investment in the potential of our youth. With their help, we can continue to provide a safe, supportive and empowering learning environment where students can thrive and work toward a brighter future.”
The Children’s Cabinet’s Redfield Academy is dedicated to providing critical resources for youth who may be struggling in high school to re-engage, graduate and build a path toward a brighter future. Each student receives personalized support that includes academic support, counseling, transportation, career readiness programming and more.
Redfield Academy offers at-risk youth a path to graduation through a holistic approach that includes academic assistance, counseling, transportation and career-readiness training. This year’s graduate class includes five Redfield Academy seniors.
