Yleana Leadership Academy

Description

• The Yleana Leadership Academy is a residential summer academy which annually serves 80 rising high school seniors in urban areas (Boston, Lynn/Salem/Peabody, NYC, Philadelphia, and Baltimore) and seeks to close the achievement gap through a three-week transformative summer SAT intervention.Our program is free to all participants; room, board, and all program-related fees (including transportation to and from students' schools/partner organizations) is covered by our endowment.Our students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Most of our population is first-generation and we are about 95% of color historically.Students live full time at Colgate University and Endicott College, sleeping in dormitories, eating with their peers, participating in athletic and social events, and going on cultural excursions. We seek not only to give students the scores and tools to make college a tangible reality, but also to create a thriving community. Resident advisors who double as teachers will live with the students, helping them manage a new environment and inspiring them with the advisors' own tales of college success. We have at least one staff member for every six students. Staff members will consist of experienced instructors, assistant teachers, adjunct teachers, and counselors-in-training (recent Yleana alumni, now transitioning out of the college admissions process and into attending college, who counsel our students and run non-academic programming).
