Team S.O.S. (Students of Success)
Team S.O.S. is a college prep program through the Renaissance Pointe Family YMCA. We aim to encourage students to act on their beliefs through the foundation of a college education. Our program provides student and parent workshops, college visits, volunteer and internship opportunities as well as job shadowing opportunities.

Though we do not directly fund college expenses, we teach students about the necessary resources to cover college costs. We do not compete with other college preparatory programs; instead, we support and work closely with them.

To find out how to be a part of this program, please contact Andrew or Jasmina at (260) 447-4567.
