Youth Education Security Inc. (YES)

We are funding a three-year pilot program in two Tucson, Arizona highschools for poverty -impaired students likely to prematurely drop out. Under a conditional cash transfer, we intend to measure continued school attendance, grade improvements and high school completions among other things. Over time, it may be possible to measure the financial investment in these students in relation to economic benefits to the individual; the community; and local and state governments.
