The In School Youth Program is an academic enrichment program designed to help High School Juniors and Seniors graduate, go on to higher education, and find a job.
The I.S.Y program (over 700 youth registered since its inception in 2001) has helped to improve the grades of low income and at risk students, kept them on track to graduate, and increased participant's rates of attendance at institutions of higher education.
We accomplish this goal through classroom instruction, a personalized program of agency support services, and guaranteed summer jobs.
Through our classes in SAT prep in math, writing, and reading, our math and reading tutoring sessions, our College Prep and Job Readiness classes, and through College Tours, we step in to fill in the gap in services experienced by young adults in underserved communities, and to provide positive, involved, committed adults to help educate, guide and inspire our participants to graduate and go on to higher education.
Also, through field trips and internship and employment opportunities we provide our participants with real world experiences to increase cultural and social sophistication, polish, self-esteem, and leadership skills.
