Wyman Leaders | Wyman Center

Academic Engagement. Leadership. Community Connections.

Wyman has helped me find my voice and encouraged me to participate in new opportunities. – Dominique, Wyman Leaders teen

Teens enter Wyman Leaders the summer before ninth grade as 14-year-olds, at a pivotal time in their education and lives.

They finish the program as adults in their early 20s, four years after high school graduation.

What happens during that nine-year journey?

They climb.

They explore.

They connect.

They grow – as students, leaders, and individuals.

So, who are Wyman Leaders?

Wyman Leaders are…

Graduates
100% graduate from high school on time.

Future-focused
