YMSL has partnered with GapWell to support your sons on their journey from high school to college.


YMSL MOMS: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW CAN BE FOUND BELOW!!


If you were able to join us in the Bay Area or in Atlanta, then you've learned about the unique partnership between Young Men's Service League and GapWell. We hope to see many of you in Dallas at the final 2026 YMSL Leadership summit later in April 2026.


If you weren't are able to attend one of these leadership summits, DON'T WORRY! This page will tell you everything you need to know to make the most of this important new relationship.


YMSL has engaged GapWell to support your sons on their journey from high school to college and beyond. College and career success is all that we focus on at GapWell and we are thrilled to be able to support you and your son on this exciting journey.


Check out the two options BELOW👇 whether your son is graduating high school this year or next year.


WHAT IF MY SON IS GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL THIS YEAR? (2026)


Whether he's your first to graduate high school or you are a seasoned pro, don't forget to breathe! We got you.


It may only be a few short months (weeks?) before he leaves the nest, but YMSL and GapWell will help you to make sure he gets what he needs to be successful in college and beyond.


First, your son will receive FREE access to GapWell's College Crash Course, courtesy of YMSL.


This on-demand library of short videos is packed with essential life skills and tips directly from older college students who have just been through it themselves. It's all the advice these students wished they had received before stepping foot on campus. Think of it as a survival guide for your son's first month on campus.


YMSL seniors from Livingston (New Jersey), Prosper (Texas) and Great Falls (Virginia) got a sneak peek and had this to say about the College Crash Course and advice they heard from the wiser, older college students:


  • 91% will implement something they learned from the College Crash Course

  • 100% found the College Crash Course helpful

  • 95% would recommend the College Crash Course to others


Make sure your son signs up for the College Crash Course using the QR code below.



IN ADDITION...


How else can we support them once they launch their college careers? YMSL thought of that too. That's where the GapWell Guide comes in.


The GapWell Guide also delivers essential advice, wisdom and encouragement from older students (who your son will actually listen to), but delivers 5 new short videos every week throughout your son’s freshman year. Each episode is timed to the topics relevant for that part of the academic year, and all are designed to help your son feel more capable, more confident, and more comfortable on campus.


While parents can give this advice, it lands differently when it comes out of the mouth of a 21-year-old who was just in their shoes not so long ago!



This bundle of the GapWell Guide and the College Crash Course typically costs $199. As part of this powerful new partnership, your son can subscribe to both for only $49 total. That’s a discount of 75%!!


Both the FREE College Crash Course and the YMSL-exclusive rate for the GapWell Guide can be accessed HERE or scan the QR code below:




GapWell Guide subscribers benefit from hearing directly from dozens of wiser older students, like recent YMSL alum Max from Fort Worth, TX who studies at Indiana University and shares his powerful advice on how to not get caught up in sports betting.

WHAT IF MY SON IS GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL NEXT YEAR? (2027)


You're in luck! YMSL national leadership has co-created a thoughtful solution to support you and your sons on their journey from high school to college.


It starts with a dedicated chapter meeting focused on skills they’ll need when they leave the nest. There’s even some pre-work that they’ll do to get them started thinking about the skills they’ll need after high school. The support then continues with the College Crash Course and GapWell Guide described above.




WHAT ABOUT US MOMS? THIS IS A TRANSITION FOR US TOO!


We heard you loud and clear, which is why we have been hosting a series of LIVE webinars for moms of college-bound high school seniors in March and April 2026. All 6 sessions will be recorded and available on the YMSL intranet.

 


Read more about the first in the series HERE. as well as other ways that we can support the moms in unique offerings that are available to you individually or as part of a "moms only" chapter experience.


Have any additional questions? YMSL@GAPWELL.COM is always standing by to help support you in close coordination with Angela Kerr and Rae Lynn Reinecke from your YMSL national team.
