We utilize a data-driven approach to student support, consisting of three scaffolded phases, each focused on developing core skills and providing essential supplemental resources to ensure that students are competitive with their more privileged counterparts. Our middle school programming is centered around a rigorous math and logic curriculum designed to improve critical thinking, literacy, and self-expression, as well as prepare them for admittance to competitive independent high schools. Middle school scholars also participate in robust summer programming designed to build cultural capital and prevent academic summer backslides. Armed with what they've learned from our (con Sch O) thorough middle school programming, scholars are accepted to and attend the country's most competitive independent, public, boarding, and charter high schools, from Harvard-Westlake to Exeter to Bronx Science. The YES high school program then builds on the skills they acquired in middle school, with an even more individualized approach to student success: connections to summer programs, academic tutoring, internship opportunities, mentoring, topical workshops, social-emotional wellness, and individualized college admissions counseling, including college tours and high-level standardized test prep. This programming is specifically designed to help foster independence and self-advocacy. The third phase is focused on college success, persistence, and graduation, as well as career placement. Our staff maintains frequent contact with YES college scholars, helping to adapt them to all aspects of the more challenging environment of college. We provide our scholars with the means to access both crucial and transformative social immersion opportunities around the country and the world, endowing them with the interpersonal, critical thinking and communication skills necessary to become competitive candidates for the workforce. From neighborhoods where fewer than 10% of adults have a college degree, 100% of YES scholars are accepted to the finest colleges across the country. More importantly, 94% of those students persist and graduate! YES scholars are attending and have graduated from medical, dental, & law school, as well as a variety of graduate programs across the country. Our graduates are excelling in careers spanning every field and are employed at companies including Apple, Morgan Stanley, Google, Bain, The LA Philharmonic, Teach for America, Goldman Sachs, Mercedes Benz, Amazon, F/X Networks, Autodesk, The National Park Service, City of Hope, and LinkedIn .Over 85% of our scholars are first-generation college students, and 87% qualify as low or super-low income. YES-LA serves scholars across Greater Los Angeles County-from Watts, Inglewood, & South Bay to East Los Angeles, Boyle Heights, & downtown Los Angeles. In New York City, scholars are identified from six public schools in Harlem District 5. YES-Chicago serves students from the South Side and West Side, and our Appalachian scholars are identified in rural public schools in Watauga & Ashe Counties in Western North Carolina. YES currently serves over 720 students across the country and grows by approximately 75 students annually. 457303 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 5 0 24 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 CA NY IL X X Salesberry Group LLC 7083658003 PO Box 3085 Inglewood CA 90304 Eric Eisner Founder, President 20.00 X X 12480 0 1975 Elizabeth Callender Board Chair 13.00 X X 0 0 0 Adan Acevedo Secretary 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Drew Zager Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Peter Benedek Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Roger Birnbaum director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Skip Brittenham Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Sara Hernandez Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Allen Shapiro Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Tricia Cardoso Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Dawn Olmstead Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jamie Foxx Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ramon Rodriguez Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Rebecca Tucker Executive Director 55.00 X 112115 0 9673 124595 0 11648 1 0 0 0 0 474207 474207 34446 34446 508653 0 0 34446 169704 169704 44709 8393 15956 20360 232816 208311 4932 19573 1935 1731 41 163 29500 21835 4267 3398 21438 16862 1682 2894 7490 7490 24475 24475 16220 16220 18264 1200 17064 9041 6779 508 1754 6199 6199 13112 8937 4155 20 1685 82 1273 330 2624 2624 4111 3006 503 602 Summer program 4448 4448 Equipment 3470 3470 other fundraising 3177 3177 Dues and Subscriptions 2766 499 2079 188 9468 2892 6126 450 626652 457303 100220 69129 3216531 3347826 92214 92345 1635606 1285607 120 42 44295 13716 74660 73020 4265 1640 2500836 2469248 1255 799 950 6950 7496072 7218173 207030 113489 1255 799 208285 114288 X 4667579 4500344 2620208 2603541 7287787 7103885 7496072 7218173 -117999 -65903 0 X X 0 0 0 X 1881238 1651517 1909716 6136809 474207 12053487 1881238 1651517 1909716 6136809 474207 12053487 4198647 7854840 82851 82722 70161 66086 34446 336266 313 313 12390066 0.63400 0.66200 X part II, line 1 The current year (Column E) is a short year covering the period September 1, 2022 through December 31,2022.

For bright, ambitious students from low-income neighborhoods, a college degree represents a clear path out of the crippling cycle of generational poverty. However, this potential is often stifled by their circumstances: a lack of exposure and access due to financial, educational, and social inequality. YES identifies promising young students from Title I middle schools, and provides them with the essential resources and support necessary to make college and career success attainable goals. We aim for each student to have the opportunity to make choices about their educational and professional pursuits that are not restricted by their socio-economic limitations. YES support is long-term and holistic, meeting the needs of our scholars at every level - academic, socio-emotional, mental & physical health, financial - and beginning in 6th grade and continuing through high school, college, and beyond career placement. At each level, YES works to address the multitude of challenges that historically have prevented low-income students from accessing academic, social, and career opportunities. YES provides the essential academic, social, and cultural preparation necessary for our scholars to overcome the opportunity, achievement, and awareness gaps endemic to their socioeconomic status.
