You Can Make a Difference

YATC is funded solely by our generous donors and receives no government funding. Contributions of any amount are greatly appreciated.

Here's how a $100 donation can help the kids:

Purchase a set of textbooks used in auto technical class or GED preparation
Cover transportation on Tri-Rail or transit bus passes
Allow two students to sit for the GED exam
Provide a week's worth of groceries for a student and family

…I can’t thank our supporters enough for making YATC the first and best school of its kind and giving disadvantaged kids a second chance at a positive future.

The majority of the graduates, 92%, worked between 31 - 40+ hours a week and 26% were supervisors or owned their own businesses.
