College-Readiness
College-readiness is YES Prep's North Star. We believe that by empowering students to be successful in college, we prepare students for any pathway.
All students experience an aligned and rigorous curriculum, a supportive environment and have exposure to career and extracurricular opportunities- all in service of pursuing lives of opportunity.
YES Prep is a commitment to academic and social development. Our students’ time is designed to ensure that every student who graduates YES Prep is prepared to pursue and complete a college degree or a rigorous post-secondary opportunity most aligned to their needs.
Every student who graduates from YES Prep should be empowered to succeed in college and to pursue lives of opportunity. Our students are equipped with the knowledge and skills to be productive and contributing members of their community.
Robust and comprehensive college counseling is a central component of the YES Prep College Initiatives program. We do this work to ensure students are Accepted, Matriculated and Persist through college by exposing students to the five pillars of our College Initiatives programming— College Advising, Seminar, Student Opportunities, Alumni Support and College Partnerships.
