On the Way with NYA: Neighborhood Youth Association
strengthens program for college placement, completion
Moving into the new year, Neighborhood Youth Association (NYA) is strengthening its college placement and mentoring program by reorganizing the agency to increase effectiveness and sustainability.
NYA’s continuing mission of 100% college placement for participating students from under-resourced families is exemplified by the program’s Class of 2025 (pictured above), which is on track for on-time high-school graduation and application to multiple colleges and universities. Twenty-five high-schoolers – including 12 seniors – are enrolled in the program and eligible for scholarships awarded by NYA and other funders.
Committed to each student’s success, NYA’s board of trustees is taking new steps to increase efficiency and cost-savings, including relocating operations to new quarters in Mar Vista in early 2025.. Further information will be posted as it becomes available.
Meanwhile, your ongoing support is greatly appreciated!
