CB:LPP involves colleges & universities, schools, parents,
alumni, students, community organizations, businesses and local
government agencies as stakeholders.
The students who participate in our program all come from
partnerships with the schools that the CB:LPP has established. They
are considered at-risk for: low academic achievement, poor school
attendance, high drop-out rate, exposure to and involvement in
substance abuse and gangs, low self-esteem, and little or no
after-school supervision or parental involvement in their
lives.
Between 2000 and 2007 CB:LPP has accomplished the following:
- CB:LPP Student / School persistence rate is 98%
- 11,885 CB:LPP students graduated from High School
- 10,664 CB:LPP graduates entered postsecondary education or the
workforce following graduation
- 7,262 college-bound CB:LPP students chose to continue
post-secondary education IN New York
The CB:LPP mitigates all of these risk factors by offering hope,
help, and a positive presence in these youths’ lives. As a result
of attending tutoring, students turn in higher quality homework
more frequently, and they also gain the basic math and language
arts skills they need to come up to grade level. The results also
indicated improvements in key skills and indicators of future
academic success.
