Placing an emphasis on achieving higher level education and test taking skills, four sites are being used to evaluate teaching methods and needs for launching the concept nationally. NYSP enhances participants chances of achieving higher educational standards by helping students prepare for the rigors of standardized-testing methods and reinforcing reading, writing and computer skills. Partnerships are just friendships with a business card. NYSP strives each year to attain a greater level of service to its participants, hoping to give youth the right start. The reality of the goal is only possible with the help and dedication of community members, businesses and community-action agencies.
Opportunity often comes disguised in work clothes.
A job search can be an ominous process regardless of experience and education. NYSP puts thousands of people in positions to help themselves and the community. These worthwhile summer jobs offer training to local community members. The staff includes physical education teachers, coaches, elementary and secondary educators, college students and administrators who make up an administrative, instructional and support staff. The five-week program is supervised by a program administrator.
