WYF is seeking dynamic professional volunteers/mentors to help open the minds of our next generation of leaders. Through our flagship program YIIP, we are preparing students to excel academically, thrive in the workforce, assume productive leadership roles, and gain and maintain economic empowerment in this increasingly global society. Without strong literacy skills in reading and writing, students are unable to comprehend and learn information, record and apply knowledge, and function appropriately as contributing members of our global society. Moreover, without strong literacy skills that equip them to win in life against all odds, our youth -- especially underserved minorities -- will continue to experience academic underperformance that widens the racial achievement gap in education, economic disadvantage, homelessness, growing incarceration rates, growing teen pregnancy rates, growing gang affiliation rates, growing crime and drug addiction rates, growing unemployment and underemployment rates, and other poverty- and literacy-related community ills as cited in the Harris County Community Plan and other sources.
The Literacy component of YIIP’s Literacy and STEAM program underpins every step of the program. The program will capitalize on the intriguing nature of science and entrepreneurship to provide problem-based learning tools that enable YIIP to not only teach STEAM and entrepreneurship skills but also reading, writing, and public-speaking skills.

The STEAM component provides the fun, engaging project-based learning environment in which YIIP will motivate students to develop the myriad skills outlined above. Our projects will draw on various STEAM fields, including physics, geology, engineering, computer technology, climatology, mathematics, chemistry, graphic design, performing and visual arts, and web design.

The project goals are YIIP’s Literacy and STEAM Program has the following five goals:

1. Strengthen students’ literacy skills in an effort to enhance their educational and career readiness.

2. Improve students’ literacy and STEAM skills through the use of fun, engaging project-based learning programs specifically designed with best practices and evidence-based instructional strategies in mind.

3. Expose underserved middle and high school students to science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) in an effort to provide students with resources to design their own futures in a STEAM career.

4. Cultivate an additional means of fulfilling YIIP’s overall goal, which is to create self-sufficient entrepreneurs with the business acumen to produce/provide innovative affordable products/services in quantities sufficient to lift themselves and their families

5. Aid society in achieving a diverse and dynamic global workforce whereby enhances the pipeline of skilled workers in STEAM professions.

Your participation will help us strengthen our program, while expanding into the local school districts.
