Outreach
EVYP strives to collaborate with the community; our outreach program is designed to share our college and career readiness services with schools and non-profit organizations in the community.
Information Tables
EVYP attends community events and local school report card pick up days to provide college readiness information such as high school choice, applying to college, financial aid and other relevant topics.
Workshops
Below are workshops that EVYP facilitates for school and community organizations. We run workshops for both students and parents in English and Spanish. We are always looking for other ways to share our services with the community and are open to suggestions and ideas.
