About us | St. Stephen’s Youth Programs (SSYP) began in 1999 as a church’s effort to provide neighborhood elementary students with a safe place to go when school is not in session. Today, our successful, cost effective, out-of-school time programming serves 850 young people in grades K-12+. Our programs have a 19 -year track record of success. We are particularly effective in helping young people at greatest risk of dropping out of school to persevere and graduate. For the last three years, 98% of our seniors graduated from high school and the vast majority did so with a well-formulated plan for their post-graduation year. |
