The Jack and Jill of America Foundation has provided Young Women's Preparatory Network the much-needed support to guide Houston-area girls to and through college. Our programs have been able to support both high school students and collegiates. With the help of JJOAF, students in our programs have earned over $6MM in merit-based scholarships and 66% of our alumnae have earned a bachelor's degree.
Attending YWCPA positively impacted me by introducing me to my dream career, chemical engineering. In addition, attending YWCPA prepared me for college. I was not only able to enter college as a sophomore due to both AP and dual credits, but the advanced classes I took at YWCPA prepared me for the workload and time management skills I would need to succeed in college. Attending YWCPA also provided me with a support system after graduating. I was not only able to reach out to my previous classmates, but also teachers for advice.
