Say Yes to Education is a nonprofit focused on ensuring every public school student graduates and has the support to pursue and complete a postsecondary education. The core incentive is a college scholarship through the Say Yes Higher Education Compact, which provides access to postsecondary options at state institutions or more than 100 private colleges and universities. With nearly three decades of experience, the organization works with cities and counties to transform civic infrastructure so students graduate high school and have the preparation and support needed to pursue higher education. It emphasizes leveraging the strengths of each student and community assets to provide a comprehensive, sustainable set of services that help students navigate college, career, and life. The organization targets cities and counties as its primary partners and operates within the education administration programs landscape to align K-12 achievement with postsecondary opportunities. Based in New York City, Say Yes is a mid-sized nonprofit with a long-running history; in early 2022 it expanded its team with Walsh and joined the Say Yes Higher Education Compact.
