For many of our students Post Secondary Education is a figment of their imagination. It is our mandate to make education not only accessible but tangible. Y.A.A.A.C.E has established dual credit initiatives with both Seneca College (Score Program) and York University (ACE Program). The dual credit process implies that while students are in high schools (grade 11 and 12) they get the opportunity to take college level courses for which they will obtain credits which will apply to their high school diploma and to their college/university transcript upon successful completion of High School and subsequent enrollment. A number of Y.A.A.A.C.E participants were prepared for Post-Secondary and accessed Post Secondary Education through the ACE and SCORE programs. In addition Y.A.A.A.C.E will continue to provide intensive academic support at the elementary and secondary school level.

This program allows students to be part of an environment that is supportive and nurturing, which values critical thinking, personal growth and development.
