Mission Statement
Yonkers Partners in Education (YPIE) partners with students to ensure they are ready for, enroll in, and complete college. We confront the challenges of low-income, urban school districts by providing families with equitable access to the critical tools and services necessary for college success.
Description
Yonkers Partners in Education (YPIE) was founded in 2007 to bring innovative solutions to the historically under-resourced Yonkers Public Schools.
Initially providing college support to 12th grade Yonkers students, YPIE expanded its model to include College Readiness, College Access, and College Persistence programming, serving 1,200 students each year from 9th grade through college.
In fall 2023, YPIE introduced YPIE Jersey City, replicating its college success model for public school students in Jersey City.
YPIE has put a college degree within reach for thousands of students. Our work with students and families is a partnership. We make a commitment to students to ensure we do everything we can to support them on a journey to college success.
