Abstract	Education Resource Centers (ERCs) were established by the Simon Youth Foundation (SYF) as a means of providing economic opportunities and life choices for youth considered at risk through focused programs and initiatives with public school partners. In the current academic year there are 21 ERCs operating primarily in Simon Property Group (SPG) shopping malls in 11 states across the nation. Although there are structural and philosophical variations between the ERCs, all provide alternative educational opportunities for at-risk youth to obtain a high school education. (Contains 1 table.)
