YAF differs from other "tutoring" programs because we seek to develop the whole person by stressing character formation as well as academic achievement.

“Our program is designed to help students become good citizens by giving them the tools they need to succeed.”

Our mentors are volunteers coming from all walks of life who agree to dedicate approximately two hours a week to work with one child throughout a semester.

The Youth Achievement Foundation, Inc. is headquartered in Dallas and operates programs in conjunction with the Garland, Houston, Irving, and South San Antonio Independent School Districts. [visit links]

Teaming with the public school districts we can reduce overhead and serve more kids. The schools provide the space, the students, and faculty members (Teacher Facilitator) for each session, saving us on rent, utilities and insurance. We provide the mentors, study materials and sometimes snacks.

We typically split the cost of the teacher facilitator’s salary and field trips with the school. Our field trips focus on exposing our students to higher education and career options.
