Washington Irving Young Adult Borough Center is an evening academic programs designed specifically to meet the needs of high school students who might be considering dropping out because they are behind or because they have adult responsibilities that make attending school in the daytime difficult. 

Students graduate with a diploma from their home school after they have earned all of their credits and passed all of the required exams while attending the YABC program. Students who are registered in a YABC program remain assigned, for all accountability measures, to their sending school. Attendance is strictly monitored and documented by the YABC program.  

YABC also has the added support of Learning to Work, which offers additional academic and student support, post-secondary and career exploration, work preparation, and skills development. These elements of Learning to Work are designed to enhance and complement the academic component of YABC. YABC also include the LTW internships component, in which students can gain valuable work experience and earn money at the same time.
