About Us
 

YouthCollege, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of at-risk youth using educational, local community and federal resources. At-risk youth are defined as young people places at a disadvantage because of inadequate environments, insufficient economic resources and noncompetitive educational systems.

YouthCollege, Inc. aims to target at-risk youth specifically within the age group of 10-14 years old, the approximate age of middle-school students. Research purports that most students who drop out of high school exhibit negative behavior in middle school. Realizing this disturbing fact, YouthCollege, Inc. wishes to develop and prepare these students for a successful future while they are young, impressionable and able to make significant changes in their lives. Specifically, YouthCollege, Inc. seeks to:

  • Expose at-risk youth to academic disciplines that will lead to professions in which they are underrepresented
  • Foster relationships with community, civic and business leaders for support of at-risk youth
  • Inspire confidence in at-risk youth to help them achieve academic and personal goals

YouthCollege, Inc. seeks to become a national organization committed to the development of at-risk youth, working with other organizations dedicated to the same cause and establishing branches in all fifty states and the District of Columbia.
