Springfield Parent Academy - College? YES! Weekend a success!

College? YES! is a city-wide effort to inspire and build the capacity for Springfield youth and families to aspire to attend and graduate from  college. And that by doing so, college becomes a realistic and attainable goal for all students and adults. Last fall in a unique and very successful collaboration we brought together young people, parents and families, schools, colleges, businesses, faith based organizations and our community based organizations to do so. Take a look and see where we went….

School & Main institute has worked as the planning facilitator with the schools and community to develop the College? Yes! model. As you can see by the smiling faces in this video, there is great promise in the work ahead!
