YPP Michigan Program Expansion
At a YPP Community Kick Off event at Lincoln Senior HS, Math Literacy Workers take a special "oath".
In the last year alone, YPP-Michigan has drastically expanded from a handful of part-time staff, to a full time director and 23 part time staff. It has gone from 20 to 90 high school math literacy workers and has doubled the number of school districts it serves to a total of 6.
Here are some reflections on last year from the MLWs themselves:
“Its improved my math skills and helped me expand socially.”
“I feel like I am giving back to the community.”
“Overall, this experience has been fun and I really enjoyed it.”
“... I wasn't too interested in college before YPP…But by being around you guys I know that college is the only way to go for me, It is something that is possible, reachable and something I can do for myself…I didn't have high standards for myself…but through YPP I've realized I can do something…”
