Youth Advocate Program (YAP) is an intensive after school program at Fenger created to help keep the most troubled students off the streets, and to give them a shot at having a successful adulthood. Students in YAP are assigned mentors to help them prepare for, apply to, and graduate college. Rather than just preparing students for entrance exams and SAT scores, YAP mentors make contact with college-bound students weekly until those students successfully graduate from college.
