Higher Heights Youth Empowerment Programs, Inc.

Higher Heights Youth Empowerment Programs, Inc. (HHYEP), founded in 2004, is a statewide college access organization that provides college-planning services to districts and high school students, grade 9 thru 12, and their families, throughout the State of Connecticut.  

Our mission is to change the lives of under-represented college-bound students and Empower, Encourage, and Equip them to obtain a post-secondary education. 

Our organization’s goal is to provide more equitable access to college preparatory resources and services to a broad range of students and their families who have a history of being deprived and who as a consequence are underrepresented in the pool of academically high-achieving students.
