Youth Achievement

Youth Achievement Foundation (YAF) is a non-profit organization based in Dallas, Texas, that provides supplementary educational programs for disadvantaged youth in collaboration with the Garland Independent School District. YAF aims to develop the whole person by emphasizing character formation alongside academic achievement, with the goal of nurturing college-educated, upright leaders who serve their families and communities.

With a focus on reducing overhead and reaching more students, YAF partners with public school districts to utilize their facilities and faculty members, while providing mentors, study materials, and occasional snacks. The organization's programs have shown remarkable success, with high school graduation rates on track and middle school students outperforming their peers in state testing. YAF's long-term goals include providing dedicated mentors for every qualified child, supporting students through high school graduation, and assisting parents through enhanced personal contact and informational classes.
