2017-2018 Graduation Coaches

Are you passionate about helping young people reach their full potential and want to be a partner on their journey to college success?

Consider becoming a Graduation Coach at Yonkers Partners in Education (YPIE)!

Graduation Coaches are volunteer mentors who meet with Yonkers high school students two times each month, either at their school or after-school at the YPIE College Zone, beginning in 9th grade and through high school graduation. Our coaches connect with students, bridge opportunity gaps, and build life skills with our YPIE Scholars.

To learn more, please register online for an upcoming Graduation Coach information session by visiting our volunteer webpage located at:

You can also view this flyer for details on our upcoming information sessions: November 13th and December 6th.
 
As a volunteer coach, you will develop deep and lasting relationships with your mentee(s) and have an opportunity to positively impact their lives. In the words of a current YPIE Graduation Coach:
 
"As we continued to meet, both my students wanted to share more about their personal and academic lives. I felt they were very appreciative of having one-on-one time with an adult and by the end of last school year, we had definitely established a real connection."

It is Yonkers Partners in Education's mission to partner with students to ensure they are ready for, enroll in, and complete college. We confront the challenges of low-income, urban school district by providing families with equitable access to the critical tools and services necessary for college success.
