Mission Statement: Educating Young Minds was formed to create a rich and diverse supplemental learning environment where students would be encouraged to grow academically, emotionally and socially. Educating Young Minds grew out of the needs of many students and families for supplemental education and counseling, which over-stressed public schools could not meet. Brief Summary of Agency History: Educating Young Minds , a non-profit learning center, has been helping inner-city school children, ages 5-18, excel at school and at life since 1987. With “home-study” instruction during the day, after-school tutoring, and basic skills and standardized test preparation classes on Saturdays, Educating Young Minds is a vigorous program that serves students who are considered under-represented or at high risk in our society. Educating Young Minds also supports the progressive student who desires advanced academic support. To date, Educating Young Minds has served over 2,000 students and their families. Non-Profit: Educating Young Minds (EYM) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit tutorial program. Other Services: Educating Young Minds also provides counseling, referral to public and social agencies, information and assistance in securing financial aid and scholarships, and placement assistance to public magnet schools to EYM students, parents and guardians. EYM's goal is to lift the intellectual, emotional and academic levels of its student body. Students with high levels of self-esteem, set higher goals and have a greater probability of achieving them.
