Academic SupportThe YMCA helps supports teens in their academic responsibilities and works to remove obstacles to college.  | Y After SchoolThe literacy-based academic support program (offered in under-resourced NYC public schools in grades K–8) builds study skills and helps with homework through Project-Based Learning and Balanced Literacy activities, using reading, writing and conversation to address literacy challenges among public school students. As in any Y program, health education and recreation opportunities are central! At 150 YMCA sites in New York City, Y After School helps 15,000 kids ages 5-14 continue to grow in spirit, mind and body in the critical 3:00-6:00 pm hours. Find the Y After School site nearest you.
Y ScholarsA year-round high school and college success program providing essential skills and training to students in NYC public schools. Y Scholars, launched in January 2009, offers academic enrichment, tutoring, mentoring and coaching, and career, leadership and life-skills programming to young people continuously from 6th grade through college graduation. Y Scholars helps students and their families take ownership of the high school experience to grasp college — in many cases for the first time — as a real and attainable option. Each year, Y Scholars will introduce a new class of 6th graders, leading them on a seven-year path to college, until more than 1,000 teens are “college ready”. Learn more. |
