Promoting Education through Youth Leadership

We provide support, intervention and guidance to students facing adversity as they deal with transitional periods throughout high school.

Our Team

BU/LPP’s full-time staff members are located in each participating school district to work one-on-one with identified students to promote personal and academic growth.

Binghamton University students serve as tutors, mentors and interns, supporting full-time staff members and completing hundreds of volunteer hours each and every semester.

What We Do

Liberty Partnerships operates on a case management model. Our counselors plan, seek, advocate for and monitor services from different social services and staff on behalf of the student. We aim to increase the student’s developmental, problem-solving and coping capacities and provide closure during transitional life events.
