Many teens are entering 10th grade unprepared for the work and feel hopeless about their success in high school. Our Tutors support teenagers in becoming competent in the academic skills necessary to earn their degree, which opens a path to a successful and fulfilled future.
Tutors meet from 5 to 7 PM on either Mondays (at the Juvenile Court Building on Pryor Street) or Tuesdays (at The Villages at Carver at 201 Moury Street SW) This commitment is for a school year.
Most YES!Atlanta tutors report that they get far more out of their participation than they have given - in fact, many advance to become Committed Partner mentors. Whether as a Tutor or Mentor, working with a teenager to help them earn their degree - can change both your lives!

Mission Statement
YES!Atlanta enrolls "at-risk" inner-city teens and supports them with long-term mentoring by trained adult mentors recruited from throughout our city. Our goal is to have participants graduate from high school, while reducing or eliminating self-defeating behavior that hinders their maturing into fulfilled, responsible and productive members of their community.
Description
YES!Atlanta's Rising Star Program was created in 1990. Targeting inner city teenagers, Rising Star is a year-long mentoring program that supports participants in fulfilling goals they set for themselves upon entering the program. We were named a "Point of Light" by President George H. W. Bush, in honor of the effectiveness of our work with teenagers. Since its creation Rising Star has worked with nearly 1,000 youngsters to open new possibilities in their lives and end their hopelessness about their future.
