The Liberty
Partnerships Program (LPP) was established in 1988 under Section
612, Subdivision 6 of the Education Law to address the significant
dropout rate among New York’s youth.
The legislation states “the failure of many young New Yorkers to
complete their secondary education limits their opportunity for a
life of fulfillment, prevents them from advancing into
post-secondary education and hinders the State’s efforts to provide
a well-trained workforce for business and industry in New
York.”
Liberty Partnerships Programs offer comprehensive
pre-collegiate/dropout prevention programs and services to youth in
Urban, Rural and Suburban communities of Western New York, Finger
Lakes, Central New York, Southern Tier, North Country, Mohawk
Valley, Capital District, Mid-Hudson Valley, NYC and Long
Island.
