Record Demand for The Leadership Academy

The end of summer marks the beginning of a new school year and the start of a new year at The Leadership Academy (TLA). We stand amazed at the incredible demand there is for our flagship program this year. With 120 children currently registered this year, over 80 children remain on the waitlist. Students are coming from 29 schools throughout West Palm Beach’s inner-city.

With the increasing interest for TLA, we wanted to hear from the parents on why they feel TLA is beneficial for their children.  At the Back 2 School Blast in August, we surveyed parents whose children are enrolled in or waitlisted for TLA.  We had 74 parents representing 123 students complete the survey, and the top three reasons (out of 11 options) parents send their children to TLA are:

1) I like that TLA offers spiritual enrichment for my child;

2) I trust UYI to help my student make academic gains;

3) UYI has a good reputation.

95% of parents say they would recommend TLA to their friends/family!

God is using TLA to be a light in the inner-city community, and the good news is spreading. Thank you for supporting our work through your giving and prayers.  Without you, we could not love, equip and empower inner-city youth and their parents to fulfill their God-given purpose.
