Yes-Together: A Bold Solutions Initiative

Yes-Together: A Bold Solutions Initiative is a new, innovative program dedicated to Staten Island’s young adults ages 18-22. We welcome students who were previously enrolled in college and stopped-out or are first-time college students who have delayed entry into college. 

This initiative is made possible by the generous grant funding of the Carroll and Milton Petrie Foundation and the Heckscher Foundation for Children.
