What Is The Youth Toward Excellence Program (Y.T.E.P.) ?
The Youth Toward Excellence Program (Y.T.E.P.) is a state funded venture of the Commonwealth of Kentucky Governor's Minority College Student Preparation Program (G.M.S.C.P.P.). Y.T.E.P. is designed to assist and motivate low-income and / or first-generation college-going youth to excel academically in middle school and as freshmen in high school. The Program takes place throughout the calendar year and enhances it's student participants' growth, both academically and personally, by nurturing them in the fundamental areas of math, reading, science, and study skills. Adequately preparing students in these areas, through early and reasonable intervention, the Program will aide in the transition from middle school to high school with post-secondary education as the ultimate goal.
When Does The Program Operate ?
There are two (2) components of the program that take place during the calendar year. During the Academic Year Component which coincides with that of Jefferson County Public Schools (J.C.P.S.), students attend weekly tutoring sessions, career awareness seminars, cultural and social activities, and bi-monthly groups sessions. During the Summer Residential Component, students have the opportunity to live in a dormitory on the University of Louisville Belknap Campus for one (1) week; travel to college campuses in the region; attend academic and cultural expansion classes; and participate in a recreational / physical education program.
