Leading Youth Through Empowerment

Our mission is to lead low-income, African American, and Latino middle school students to top performing Delaware high schools and then colleges, through personal mentoring, rigorous teaching, and leadership.

We offer a variety of academic and mentorship support starting from seventh grade all the way until students graduate high school. Through this rigorous and intensive model, we are able to assist students access both top performing high schools and eventually colleges. We do this by increasing the rigor and amount of work that they are exposed to after school and over the summer. When students enter high school, we have a high school advocate who works with them to navigate high school from choosing courses, setting them up with tutoring to assisting with the college application process.
