The YABC (Young Adult Borough Center) program at Franklin D. Roosevelt High School is a collaborative program in partnership with the Department of Education and Good Shepherd Services. We work with students who are over-aged and under-credited to overcome their barriers, graduate high school, and develop their Post Secondary plan for success after high school.

- Have a minimum of 17 course credits
- Be in the fifth year (or more) of high school
- Be enrolled or become enrolled in a NYC high school*
*Eligible students who are not currently enrolled in a high school must go to a borough enrollment office to be enrolled in a high school.
Good Shepherd Services is a leading non-profit organization whose mission is to go where children, youth, and families face the greatest challenges, and to build on their strengths to help them gain skills for success. We provide quality, effective services that deepen connections between family members, within schools, and among neighbors.
We work closely with community leaders to advocate, both locally and nationally, on behalf of our participants to make New York City a better place to live and work.
Good Shepherd Services envisions a New York City where children grow up in thriving neighborhoods and all individuals and families can build on their strengths to realize their fullest potential.
