Honor Roll Trip
Because only 14% of children in inner-city Nashville will graduate from high school, we offer academic incentives to our children to encourage them to stay in school and keep good grades.
Each year we take the kids that make their school’s honor roll (all As and Bs) twice during the school year on a 5-day trip. Honor Roll Trips in the past have been taken to Washington D.C., Atlanta, New York City, Chicago, and Minnesota. You should see how encouraged the kids are by our pride in their scholastic accomplishments and how hard they work during the year to make sure they are on the list to go!
College Scholarships
Opportunities to attend college are unheard of for children from Nashville’s inner city. However, because of the generosity of YES supporters, our YES children are able to pursue their dreams because of YES college scholarships. For any of our children that want to further their education, we will find a way to get them to college. There are YES children that have applied for our college scholarships hoping their dreams will become a reality. Will you help us give a life-changing, odds-defying opportunity to these children?
