Daemen College Liberty Partnerships Program
Our Purpose
The Daemen College Liberty Partnerships Program (DCLPP) is designed to provide students in middle school through grade 12 with a broad range of services and activities aimed at increasing their motivation and ability to graduate from high school and go on to college.
The DCLPP seeks to facilitate and enhance the education of our youth at-risk. The Program's goals are to increase academic performance levels, enhance the students' self-image, and increase school attendance.
What We Do
DCLPP assists students with their high school ahead choice and college search. We take them on high school and college tours, we invite representatives from colleges and the local community to come and speak with our students as they research career paths and the next steps in their academic ambitions.

Career awareness and service learning are also components of the Program. We provide opportunities for students to obtain an increased understanding of the world of work and community involvement through volunteerism. Career workshops, open discussions, college and high school search seminars, interactions with role models and tours of business sites help to facilitate this objective. Students from multi-racial, multi-lingual and multi-ethnic groups participate in a variety of activities, many of which are offered both in English and in Spanish.
One of the most important goals of the program is to help build self-esteem and character. The Daemen College Liberty Partnerships Program staff work hard to instill in the students a sense of pride in self. Before students can successfully compete for a job or a place in a college's freshman class, they have to believe in themselves and their ability to achieve.
