Students at Carington Youth Academy experienced various fun activities and learning opportunities this Fall. On 10/28, Carrington held the First Annual Career Day. Attorney Darnay Wright donated his time by speaking and motivating the students to “Do what you like”, pursue purpose, and maintain self-help as needed. Mr. Wright disclosed intimate details of his own personal and professional pursuits that led him to enter a career in Law.

On 10/31/22, Carrington staff members hosted a Halloween Door Decorating Contest. Both adults and students dressed in their best spooky-like costumes. Candy was distributed and the students made a unanimous vote and declared which door was in fact, the best decorative door.

On November 10th   Some Carrington students experienced a trip to The Cleveland Housing Court. During their trip to the Cleveland Housing Court, students were able to have a 1:1 with Judge W. Mona’ Scott.  Court Workers met with Carrington Students to explain the Civil and Criminal aspects of the Cleveland Housing Court. The Leaders of the Court Housing staff from the following areas: Social Work, Housing Specialists, Magistrates, Probation, and Baillifs. These professionals spent time with our students and explained how they coordinate services that deter people from becoming evicted. Carrington students were left with the understanding that this specialized court (established in 1970), aims to make Cleveland look as good as its surrounding neighborhoods. If evictions occur, they are performed in a “respectful” manner.  It was a very rewarding and memorable experience.
