Why LPP

Our Purpose

The Liberty Partnerships Program (LPP) was established in 1988 under section 612, Subdivision 6 of the Education Law to address the significant dropout rate among New York’s youth.

The Legislation state, “the failure of many young New Yorker’s to complete their secondary education limits their opportunity for a life of fulfillment, prevents them from advancing into post-secondary education, and hinders the State’s efforts to provide a well-trained workforce for business and industry in New York.”
