Support Systems
Year Up surrounds its students with resources to support them during and after the program, assisting them in their transitions to careers and higher education.
- Advisors: Staff members act as student advisors, meeting with students weekly to advise them on professional and personal issues.
- Mentors: Each student is assigned a mentor from the business community to further support his or her development.
- Tutors: Each student has access to one-on-one tutoring, if needed.

Famous quotes containing the words support and/or systems:
“Every winter the liquid and trembling surface of the pond, which was so sensitive to every breath, and reflected every light and shadow, becomes solid to the depth of a foot or a foot and a half, so that it will support the heaviest teams, and perchance the snow covers it to an equal depth, and it is not to be distinguished from any level field. Like the marmots in the surrounding hills, it closes its eyelids and becomes dormant for three months or more.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built up on the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think.”
—Anne Sullivan (1866–1936)
