Academics

Organization: Latin American Youth Center

When youth enroll in LAYC’s educational programs, they can look forward to an enriching experience with an emphasis on academics, leadership development, and social-skill building. Our programs focus on activities that enhance academic performance with the goal to support attainment of a high school diploma or GED, and prepare youth for post-secondary education and success. Youth have access to our academic programs at LAYC’s sites and at partner schools during the school day and after school through our School-Based Academic Programs and After-school Enrichment.
