Services

In conjunction with Marist University students, community-based organizations, and local businesses, Marist University LPP provides robust programming for its students. Programming ranges from tutoring, mentoring, case management, college readiness, workforce development, art therapy, and leadership development. The Marist University LPP team utilizes various tools to measure, build, and strengthen students’ resiliency skills. Coordinators, tutors, and mentors use validated resiliency assessments to obtain insight into the specific social-emotional issues with which students may be struggling. In addition, the Marist University LPP team uses a standards-aligned curriculum as a pedagogical framework to improve students’ academic resiliency. Coordinators meet with Marist University LPP students to develop Personal Learning Plans (PLPs). Together, they set Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely (SMART) goals.

Throughout the academic year, tutors and mentors help hold students accountable for achieving their long and short-term SMART goals. In the summer, Marist University LPP takes students to Marist University for programming. Students participate in various classes: health, wellness, college preparation, workforce development, restorative justice, mindfulness, and art therapy classes.
