Who We Are | Binghamton LPP

Helping Students Stay on Track and Succeed

The Liberty Partnerships Program (LPP) was started by the New York State Education Department in 1988 to help students stay in school and thrive. It provides academic support, mentoring, and personal development to set students up for success. The program works through strong partnerships with local schools, colleges, community organizations, and education agencies across the state.

At the Binghamton University Liberty Partnerships Program we focus on personalized support for each student. Every student receives both one-on-one and group counseling that covers school challenges, emotional wellness, and personal growth. This support comes from licensed professionals or teams trained to help students in all areas of life.

Each student also takes a Social-Emotional Assessment (SEA) to better understand their strengths, needs, and goals. Based on this, we create a Personalized Learning Plan (PLP) that includes customized academic goals and strategies for success. These plans are updated regularly to reflect the student’s progress and changing needs—keeping them engaged and motivated.

Our LPP staff are active partners in the schools we serve. We work closely with teachers, principals, and families to provide the right support at the right time. This team approach makes it easy to step in early, track student progress, and help students stay on the path to graduation.

By offering well-rounded support, the Binghamton LPP helps students do better both in school and beyond. We help students build confidence, prepare for college or careers, and develop the life skills they need to reach their full potential.

Through college and career readiness programs, hands-on leadership opportunities, and community partnerships, we’re helping students meet today’s challenges head-on. Whether they’re dealing with the impact of the pandemic, social media stress, or changing expectations, we give them the tools to stay focused and move toward a successful future.
