Nampa PREP
Our Mission
PREP is an innovative program in the Nampa School District which provides students ages 18-21 with Special Needs the necessary skills to transition from school into adult life.
Students learn through hands-on experiences in the community and daily living instruction in a natural setting.
What Do Students Think About PREP?
“PREP makes me feel confident about myself and what I can do. I have learned to be social and to work hard. I have goals for my life now. I want to be more independent, get a job and be married. Because of the help from PREP I think I can reach every goal I have for myself.” -Isaac
“The PREP program is so fun. I love going to different jobs to learn what kind of work I like.” -Anthony
