College Initiatives

What is College Initiatives?

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.

Our College Initiatives programming is designed to support this vision by ensuring that ALL students have the knowledge, skills, and support they need to succeed in their chosen post-secondary option. Our College Initiatives program consists of three strands: college readiness, college & career access, and alumni support.
