About Say Yes Syracuse

Say Yes Syracuse is a nonprofit community-wide partnership designed to help Syracuse City School District students graduate from high school and receive a college education without significant debt.

Governance

Among the critical components of the Say Yes Syracuse partnership is a transparent, collaborative, community-wide governance structure that guides all efforts and reports on progress to the public at large.

Our Impact

Since 2008, Say Yes Syracuse has worked to ensure all children in the Syracuse City School District are able to earn a college degree or certificate without the weight of tuition costs on their shoulders. We provide students with the supports necessary to set them on a path toward earning a living wage and becoming active, contributing members of the community.
