Year Up, Charity of the Day
Although opportunities abound in this country, many of them depend on having a decent education and a basic skill set that isn't always available to many of young people -- especially those living in urban areas. Year Up is a year long program for urban young adults age 18-24 aimed at filling in the educational cracks and giving them the tools and skills they need to move on to higher education and full-time jobs. Originally founded in Boston 5 years ago, Year Up now also has locations in New York, Providence, and Washington D.C.
