Greetings!

Spring is always a time of celebration at YPIE. While our high school students’ experiences may have been different than expected, students stayed on track and have so much to be proud of!

Take a look at our YPIE College Signing Celebration, with students leaving their mark on the YPIE College Signing pillar surrounded by smiles and cheers from their YPIE peers.

Read below about our recent YPIE college graduates and the exciting endeavors they are pursuing next.

Thank you for making these moments happen! We wish you all a restorative summer.

With gratitude,
