TIMELINE OF IMPACT

OUR LEGACY OF IMPACT Since 2000, YESPhilly has been a pioneer in Philadelphia’s youth re-engagement landscape. We specialize in reaching young adults who have been underserved by traditional systems, providing a transformative educational experience that prioritizes economic mobility and holistic development.

Originally founded as a groundbreaking media arts and GED program, our agency has evolved into a premier nonprofit diploma-granting partner within the Philadelphia ecosystem. Over the last two decades, we have served as a laboratory for educational innovation, integrating media arts, workforce readiness, and trauma-informed care into a high-school model that works. To date, over 2,500 young leaders have transitioned through our program into post-secondary education and career pathways, proving that with the right investment, every young person can thrive.
