By creating positive summer experiences and opportunities to participate in activities that challenge them both physically and intellectually, YTL’s summer program seeks to be a change agent in the lives of program participants. The program meets participants where they are and provides them with the tools necessary to build confidence in themselves, providing support academically and socially.
