Youth Education Scholars Program (YES)

The role of the Children’s Fund is to develop successful model programs and then build the capacity within existing systems to institutionalize these programs throughout the Silicon Valley and beyond.

Current model programs focus in 3 major areas:

• Improving literacy, math, and science for middle school students

• Engaging students entering high school to develop four year academic plans based on a curriculum ladder that forms the foundation for college and vocational readiness

• Providing financial aid and support services for higher education
