Yonkers Partners In Education

What Yonkers Partners In Education does

Yonkers Partners In Education (YPIE) is a U.S. 501(c)-style nonprofit founded in 2007 and headquartered at 92 Main Street, Yonkers, NY, that operates a four-year college and career success model serving students from 9th grade through college completion. Its core offering consists of school-embedded College Centers, structured Majors tracks (Healthcare, Science Research, Finance, Speech & Debate, Design, Journalism), one-on-one career coaching, SAT prep, summer immersion programs, and a Student Opportunities database. YPIE is not a software or AI company; the only technology components surfaced are student-built Arduino-based lab systems (FLAN light/temperature exposure apparatus, automated hydroponic pH control) used as hands-on learning instruments within its Science Research program.

YPIE runs three regional sites: Yonkers (the original base), Jersey City, NJ (launched fall 2023 at Lincoln and Dickinson High Schools, with Ferris High School added in fall 2025 and a Saint Peter's University College Zone), and Nashville, TN (launched 2025, funded by Regeneron's Together for Change initiative, serving Hunters Lane, McGavock, and Stratford High Schools). The organization engages more than 2,500 students annually and reports an 88% college enrollment rate for its 2025 high school graduates and a 64% bachelor's degree completion rate within six years for the 2019 cohort. It maintains a Board of Directors and is operationally active as of mid-2026.

YPIE is funded primarily through grants and donations rather than tuition or fees; services are provided free to students. Confirmed funding sources include Regeneron's Together for Change initiative (Nashville), the NJ Department of Education's 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant (Jersey City), individual and corporate donations, and an annual fundraising Gala. The organization markets through its website (ypie.org), social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Flickr), newsletters, school partnerships, and PR/earned media including local outlets such as Jersey City Times.
