More About AAFE’s Youth and Family Development Programs
AAFE Youth and Family Development Programs engage immigrant high school students from different racial and ethnic backgrounds in order to prepare them for post-secondary success. Through two separate programs, the Immigrant Youth Leadership Program (IYLP) and Youth Leadership for College Access (YLCA), students build skills, such as working in teams, facilitating meetings, networking and public speaking skills, that will help them in college and the professional arena. IYLP is a youth program focused around service learning projects that currently runs as after school sessions in Flushing on Tuesdays and the Lower East Side on Wednesdays. YLCA is a peer to peer college guidance program that AAFE operates with capacity building support from College Access: Research & Action.
