Community House Youth Enrichment (CHYE) is a dynamic program that brings together Princeton University students, community partners, and high school students to cultivate essential life skills, foster meaningful relationships, and prepare for bright futures. Through interactive workshops and hands-on experiences, CHYE empowers high school students to explore their interests, develop both personal and career-oriented skills, and build confidence as they navigate their journey toward college and career success.

By engaging with Princeton students as mentors and role models, participants gain valuable insights into higher education while forming lasting connections. At the same time, university students have the opportunity to give back, develop leadership skills, and make a tangible impact on the local community.

Parents and community partners play a key role in supporting CHYE’s mission, ensuring that students receive holistic guidance as they work toward becoming well-rounded individuals ready to thrive in any path they choose.

Join us in shaping a future where all students have the tools, mentorship, and confidence to succeed!
