YES (Youth Enrichment Services) is a collaborative project of Georgia College, Baldwin County Schools, Baldwin County Parks and Recreation, and local citizens. Its mission is to raise achievement and educational aspirations for students in grades 3-12 as well as their adult family members.
YES seeks to raise graduation rates, to nurture and inspire curiosity, and to realize deeper levels of literacy. YES collaborates with students and adults to increase confidence in their abilities to tackle new learning situations.
Finally, YES works together to build a whole community that says “yes” to making promises come true. Programming supports elementary, middle and high school students and their adult family members. Some of the programs activities include:
