Program and Services: Academic

NUY has a strong, collaborative relationship with Northfield Schools. NUY partners with Northfield High School, Arcadia Charter School, and Northfield ALC to coordinate supports for youth. NUY also offers opportunities for youth to get academic credit for their leadership and work with NUY. Students qualifying for Independent Study opportunities can access a licensed teacher on staff at NUY and get seat time toward graduation at The Key.

The summer of 2019 is exciting because of a grant we received from Women in Northfield Giving Support (WINGS) which will allow us to open our doors 2 hours early during the week to invite youth in to support their academic futures.  Through providing sustainable food sources, developing relationships, and offering wi-fi and computers, we are allowing youth to earn summer school credit, and work towards earning their GEDs.

NUY partners with TORCH to support secondary and post-secondary options for youth. NUY also offers a renewable post-secondary scholarship every year for youth involved in NUY activities!
