YCP offers young people an opportunity to improve their lives through participation in an innovative, five-month residential alternative school in which students work at their own pace to pass the High School Equivalency Test, which is the equivalent of a General Education Degree.
The mission of the LANG YCP is to intervene in and reclaim the lives of 16-18 year-old adolescents, producing program graduates with the values, life skills, education and self-discipline necessary in order to succeed as productive citizens.
