"Coming to Year Up restored the feeling I had before I dropped out of college. I feel like I'm moving forward again. Now I have something to tell people when they ask what I'm doing."
—Year Up
Problem
Out of school and out of work, 350,000 young New Yorkers have fallen through the cracks. Many lack a support network or even a positive role model and have slipped into homelessness, jail, substance abuse, teen pregnancy, or worse. Without help, their future is grim.
Impact
Robin Hood's youth programs helped over 4,000 low-income CUNY community college students earn an Associate's degree and nearly 6,000 "disconnected" New Yorkers earn their High School Equivalency diploma, with 800 also securing jobs. In addition, our programs enabled more than 5,500 youths to control their anti-social behavior.
