About Us
YES Prep Southside exists to eliminate educational inequity by partnering with the Southside community. We develop Giants who are ready to excel in and graduate from a 4-year college. We empower Giants to demonstrate resilience and integrity, advocate for self and their community, and always strive for excellence.
