Last year, due to generous donors like yourself, we were able to offer 58% of our girls some sort of financial aid so that they could participate in the YEA! Program. We are asking you to help us so that girls that need financial assistance are able to attend the YEA! program.
Please consider making a one time or monthly recurring contribution today. 100% of your donation will be dedicated to our YEA! Financial Assistance Program.

Sponsor A Student and Make a Life Changing Difference
Many of our students come from difficult financial circumstances but still have the desire to attend our program. By sponsoring a student, you are helping support her business dreams and allowing her to attend our 21 week YEA! Class.
"[The YEA! Program] certainly has left a lasting impression on Susan*. She is 15 now and has used her experience with YEA! and her wonderful mentors to have the confidence to apply to many other programs. When she is interviewed and explains her life with YEA!, well, she's been accepted into everything she's applied for."

Sponsor A Class Meal and Fuel Body and Mind
We understand the importance of a healthy meal and its impact on the educational development of our children. Many of our students travel downtown to our program directly after school and are unable to secure a healthy meal. Since our program runs late into the evening, we want them to be able to focus on the content of the program and not worry about grumbling stomachs or eating a non-nutritious meal before class.
We work closely with our catering partner to hand select well-rounded meals to sustain them. A generous contribution will provide a meal for an entire YEA! class, helping these young women concentrate on creating their businesses instead of feeling hungry.
