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:
“Because the young child feels with such intensity, he experiences sorrows that seem inconsolable and losses that feel unbearable. A precious toy gets broken or a good-bye cannot be endured. When this happens, words like “sad” or “disappointed” seem a travesty because they cannot possibly capture the enormity of the child’s loss. He needs a loving adult presence to support him in his pain but he does not want to be talked out of it.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
“Not out of those, on whom systems of education have exhausted their culture, comes the helpful giant to destroy the old or to build the new, but out of unhandselled savage nature, out of terrible Druids and Berserkirs, come at last Alfred and Shakespeare.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
