CYP's programs engage youth long-term, from preschool to college. At each academic and developmental level, program volunteers and staff, develop interventions aimed at helping at-risk youth learn grade appropriate concepts. By combining these educational interventions with a wide variety of recreational, social, health, and career programs, CYP creates its comprehensive formula for success.
Preschool: Prepare children emotionally, socially and educationally for early school tasks. Includes one-on-one reading programs, phonics training and programs that seek to involve their parents in the education process.
Elementary School: One-on-one tutoring to give at-risk youth a second opportunity to learn critical, grade appropriate concepts necessary for subsequent educational success.
Middle School: One-on-one tutoring and peer group teaching that addresses current school work, standardized testing requirements and introduces college admission test skills.
High School: One-on-one tutoring/mentoring and career exploration, identify college/trade options to fit the youth’s strengths, prep for ACT/SAT tests, assistance with applications for higher education and financial aid, personal budgeting and college placement.
Higher Education: College and trade scholarships, study skills and survival sessions, understanding school loans and personal budgets, advocating with college officials and career planning. College students and graduates also serve as mentors to younger program youth.
