Website Created for IICAN Generation YES worked with the International Interactive Community Access Network (IICAN) to help them create a website. Students in their organization maintain the site. IICAN's mission is to use technology to decrease the academic achievement gap for K - 20 students of color in collaboration with Tacoma/South Puget Sound Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement Program (MESA) along with community and faith-based organizations.
Academic Mentor Program (AMP) AMP is a program created by Community Youth Services and Generation YES. Student participants learn leadership and communication skills necessary to help mentor youth in basic language arts and math needs.
Mentoring Seniors in Technology (MTS) Partnering with Community Youth Services in Olympia Washington, Generation YES planned, delivered and evaluated a nine-week course for Mentoring Technology Service students, all at-risk teenagers. The students learned technology skills and how to teach in order to teach senior citizens at local senior centers how to use computers.
Teacher/Student Partnership Training Workshops Generation YES and The After School Corporation (TASC) partnered to design a full-day workshop for New York City teachers entitled "Students and Adults Partnering for Success." The workshop taught site-level personnel how to involve young people in meaningful ways at every level of capability. Participants learned practical ways that students can be taught to contribute to the overall success of any after-school program.
