Say Yes is a nonprofit that galvanizes cities around the goals of every public school student not only graduating high school ... — but doing so with the support to attain, afford and complete a postsecondary education. At the heart of Say Yes is a powerful incentive: the prospect of a college scholarship, whether to a state institution or more than 100 private colleges and universities in the Say Yes Higher Education Compact. With nearly 30 years of experience, Say Yes works with cities and counties to transform civic infrastructure around the goals of every public school student not only graduating high school — but doing so with the preparation and support to attain, afford and complete a postsecondary education. Say Yes builds on strengths — the strengths of every child, whose interests and talents are nurtured; and the strengths of communities, whose existing assets serve as the foundation for a comprehensive (and sustainable) set of services to help ensure students achieve developmental milestones on the path to success in college, career and life. read more
