Support Yleana students!

Any gift, no matter how small, makes a difference to Yleana!

Yleana helps Black and brown kids from underserved schools in Baltimore, Boston/North Shore MA, NYC, and Philadelphia get into better colleges by transforming their SAT scores.

Specifically, that helps by:

(1) doubling or tripling college graduation rate
(2) decreasing student loan debt
(3) doubling or tripling their starting salary out of college

Want to hear what "transformational change" means?

Our highest single score increase since the 2016 redesign was 710 points in two days, which is more than half of the “gettable” points on the test.

We welcome gifts of any size!

To make a donation of stock, or to discuss a major gift, please reach out to Alyssa, our Co-Founder and Executive Director, at alyssa at yleana dot org.

Worried your gift is too small? EVERYTHING HELPS!

$25 doesn't seem like much - but $25 buys each student's necessary SAT items - a watch to track time on the SAT, water bottle, #2 pencils, and an Yleana T-shirt to remind you that you're a rock star and you have a team of people who love and support you! That sense of agency over an academic space and comfort on a standardized test changes the game for students - helping them feel the reward of real academic success - and that's something they take with them for the rest of their lives!
