Mission Statement
YouthBuild Preparatory Academy’s mission is to provide a liberating educational experience to all students, with a focus on engaging young men of color, preparing them to be confident, civically engaged leaders. YouthBuild Preparatory Academy will be Rhode Island’s first public school focused on educating males of color.
About This Cause
YouthBuild Preparatory Academy, Inc was developed in response to the persistent opportunity gaps faced by boys and young men of color. We are committed to a holistic approach that builds community and promotes positive social, emotional, and academic development. Grounded in the principles of social justice, we uniquely blend a rigorous curriculum, wrap-around services, and caring community. Open to all, we transform the school experiences of our students and strive to ensure that all young people can reach their full potential. We live by our motto: Enter to Learn, Depart to Serve. To us, ensuring students attain a high school diploma and can demonstrate college and career readiness is just the beginning. We empower students—particularly those whose social, emotional, and academic needs have not yet been well-served—to be confident, healthy, connected to their community, and civically engaged. We achieve this by acknowledging and addressing the mental, physical, and behavioral health needs of all students. We believe this demands authentic community engagement and connecting students to networks of influence while equipping them with skills to critically assess and solve complex challenges. YBPA is academic, rigorous, and socially conscious.
