Partnerships

Through the Liberty Partnerships Program (LPP), Marist provides services to youth in need of services in the Kingston School District and Poughkeepsie City School District. To expand opportunitities for these students, LPP builds partnerships with local organizations and businesses.

Marist provides leadership and resources including use of its facilities, access to faculty and students, and administrative regulatory oversight. Faculty in the Teacher Education Department provide training for tutors and mentors. Marist students also serve as interns and volunteers for on-campus events. Many staff host high school students on LPP's annual Job Shadow Day or provide workshops during the Marist Experience. Marist offers a merit scholarship to LPP students who enter the College through regular admissions. This scholarshipPDF is equal to a 50% reduction in tuition costs.

  • Boys and Girls Club of Kingston
  • Dutchess County Historical Society
  • Family Partnership Center
