Young Professionals In Training

Four students sitting on a bench smiling at the cameraYoung Professionals in Training (YPiT) is a mentoring and tutoring program for students in 5th–12th grade. The program will expose students from underrepresented populations to majors and careers on Auburn University's campus. YPiT is a collaboration between Auburn University Outreach and the Curtis House, a local non-profit. YPiT seeks to understand participants' challenges and needs by allowing them to be the drivers of the program. The goal of YPiT is to empower the participants and offer a pathway to Auburn University and other opportunities that will prepare them to become successful and productive citizens.

We are looking for students in grades 5–12 who reside in Lee, Macon, and Chambers counties.
