Here’s What Our Students Are Saying About Y.E.S.
Jesse Watts
“The Y.E.S. Initiative has been a key component in my success at Fayetteville Technical Community College. It has allowed me to fellowship and connect with other male minorities who are looking to better themselves both academically and professionally. It has afforded me the opportunity to be able to exchange ideas or words of encouragement which help groom and mentor other minority males for success. Being a mentor for Y.E.S. Initiative has been rewarding. As mentioned previously, since becoming a member, I have been able to ensure other young minority men go on to continue their journey academically at a four-year university, or professionally by entering into the workforce. The Y.E.S. Initiative is a program that all young minority males should be eager to become a part. The culture of encouragement and challenge results in growth and overall success.”

More About Y.E.S
Fayetteville Technical Community College (FTCC) Y.E.S. Initiative is a successful program created as a result of The Male Mentoring Success Initiative (MMSI), an empowering and engaging coaching program designed to provide diverse male students with support and guidance. The Y.E.S. Initiative is open to all current FTCC students and all activities are free. The MMSI is a system wide effort designed to enhance the educational, social and professional success of male students enrolled in the North Carolina Community System.
Community college student engagements can help their academic and social transition greatly. Building relationships are ways to help students retain and persist towards a successful completion whether that be the attainment of a certificate, career and technical education or transfer to another institution. Community colleges are open access institutions where all students have the opportunity to succeed when supported and guided through the experience by those who care deeply about student success.
