YWPN is built upon our core values of College Readiness, Responsible Leadership, and Wellness Life Skills. COLLEGE READINESS Our ultimate goal is to have 100% of the students in our programs attend and graduate college. To this end, we offer a rigorous college preparatory curriculum that has proven to raise expectations and increase educational performance among the students. Young Women’s Preparatory Network supports programs that enhance the educational experiences of our students. These year-round programs include critical areas as summer learning, and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). To support the mission that every girl attend college, we have a full-time College Bound Advisor. And to ensure our teachers are exceptionally prepared and equipped, we provide training and enhancement opportunities. RESPONSIBLE LEADERSHIP Young Women’s Preparatory Network’s education plan emphasizes leadership development to awaken and strengthen the potential within each of our students. We teach our girls responsible decision-making and accountability, and stress community service and global awareness. WELLNESS LIFE SKILLS We believe wellness life skills are critical to the long-term health and happiness of our young women. We stress the importance of a healthy lifestyle through daily physical activity, nutritional education, and making smart choices.
