began in 1992 as a non-profit organization.
The purpose is to provide activities which are charitable, scientific,

With
the purpose in mind, AROC introduced Project Success. The initial effort was a pilot project in the summer of 1993
that identified 24 students from the Youth Development Center (YDC).
An intensive six-week program transitioned students from the YDC back
into the community and the school system. In
1994, Project Success became associated with the Georgia Chapter of the
nationally acclaimed Cities in School (CIS) Program. In operation for more than a decade, CIS is national
non-partisan, non-profit organization devoted to dropout prevention. Through
association with CIS, the AROC partnered with the Richmond County Public Schools
to provide a year-round alternative school program.
A three year program was designed to serve 40 students who were referred
by a tribunal following disciplinary problems at their existing schools. The
program provides instruction Monday through Wednesday evenings from 5:30-7:30
p.m. at the Business Technology Center on Laney-Walker Boulevard. Weekend
activities are also available.
