Organizations Filed Purposes: Dedicated to promoting America's promise of equal opportunity for equal talent, YES identifies promising young students from low-income communities in Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, and rural Appalachian North Carolina and equips them with the (con Sch O) resources, support, and skills required for long term success. YES helps to reshape the landscapes of disadvantaged communities by empowering underserved students to embrace educational opportunities and to overcome socio-economic boundaries in order to make college and career success an attainable goal.

Educational inequality limits life choices, career options and income opportunity. For bright, ambitious students from under-resourced neighborhoods, a college degree represents a clear path out of the crippling cycle of poverty. But this potential is stifled by their circumstances: a lack of awareness, exposure, and opportunity due to financial, educational, and social inequality. YES offers long-term individualized, holistic support, with a primary purpose of building a foundation of education as the key to breaking the cycle of generational poverty. Beginning in middle school and continuing through career placement, we work to level the playing field and address the multiple of challenges that historically have prevented low income students form access to academic, social , and (con Sch O) career opportunities. Our long-term holistic support services began as early as elementary school and continue through high school, college, and career placement. These programs include academic enrichment and counseling, rigorous and expansive summer programming, calibrated college counseling, career readiness workshops, and individualized support as we meet the academic, social-emotional, and cultural needs of our scholars at every milestone along their journey. Each phrase of YES programming develops a set of core skills that we have found essential for our scholars' growth and success.
