IN DOING SO, YPP INVOLVES THESE YOUNG PEOPLE IN EFFORTS TO ELIMINATE INSTITUTIONAL OBSTACLES TO THEIR SUCCESS. YPP ENVISIONS A DAY WHEN EVERY YOUNG PERSON-REGARDLESS OF ETHNICITY, GENDER, OR CLASS-HAS ACCESS TO A HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION AND THE SKILLS, ATTRIBUTES, AND COMMUNITY SUPPORT S/HE NEEDS TO SUCCESSFULLY MEET THE CHALLENGES OF THEIR GENERATION. FOUNDED IN 1996, BY AFRICAN AMERICAN YOUNG PEOPLE, YPP INHERITED ITS WORK FROM BOB MOSES AND THE ALGEBRA PROJECT (AP), WHICH IS ROOTED IN OVER 40 YEARS OF CIVIL RIGHTS WORK AND EDUCATION LEADERSHIP. AP ORGANIZED SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES AROUND THE GOAL THAT ALL CHILDREN HAVE ACCESS TO A HIGH QUALITY MATH EDUCATION AND PROVIDED PROFESSIONAL LEARNING FOR TEACHERS. YPP ORGANIZES YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE MOST AFFECTED BY UNFAIR OR WEAK MATH EDUCATION SYSTEMS, AND WORKS WITH SCHO 6 6 131 0 2544069 1441632 65346 73631 650 586 0 2610001 1515913 124000 0 863853 1256508 61225 67250 142150 510922 662375 1436000 2110133 1174001 -594220 2572030 2034470 20 11680 2572010 2022790 X THE YOUNG PEOPLE'S PROJECT USES MATH LITERACY WORK TO DEVELOP THE ABILITIES OF ELEMENTARY THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO SUCCEED IN SCHOOL AND IN LIFE. false false 1716314 124000 73631 YPP HAS DEVELOPED EXPERTISE IN ENGAGING AND EMPLOYING YOUNG PEOPLE IN LOW AND MODERATE INCOME COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, TO WORK OUT OF SCHOOL TO LEARN, TEACH, LEAD, AND ORGANIZE MATH LITERACY ACTIVITIES FOR AND WITH EACH OTHER. WITH TRAINING, COACHING, AND DEVELOPMENT, THESE HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE MENTORS, WHO WE CALL MATH LITERACY WORKERS (MLWS) HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT OF YOUNGER PEERS WHILE ALSO DEVELOPING THEIR OWN SKILLS AND COMPETENCIES. YPP FOCUSES ON STUDENTS IN GROUPS THAT ARE UNDERREPRESENTED IN STEM. THE WORK THAT THESE YOUNG PEOPLE DO IS ONE OF THE FEW OPPORTUNITIES THEY HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN PAID ENTRY LEVEL KNOWLEDGE WORK IN THEIR COMMUNITY. THIS IS HOW MLWS DESCRIBE THEIR WORK: "WE HELP YOUNGER KIDS TO UNDERSTAND MATH IN A WAY THAT WE DIDN'T GET TO WHEN WE WERE THEIR AGE. ALL MLWS HAVE TO BE LEADERS. A GREAT MLW IS A GREAT TEAM MEMBER, SOMEONE WHO COMES TO THE WORKSHOP AND ACTUALLY GIVES ENERGY. KIDS LOOK UP TO TEENAGERS, WHAT THEY SEE FROM US, THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO. FIRST, WE ALWAYS START OUT WITH AN ICEBREAKER. AFTER THAT WE ALWAYS PLAY A GAME THAT'S ABOUT THE CONTENT. AND THEN AFTER THAT WE DEBRIEF. AND THE WAY WE KNOW WE ARE BEING GOOD MLWS IS IF THE STUDENTS ARE GETTING IT AND IF THEY ARE HAVING FUN." FROM 1996 - 2022 YPP WORKED IN 18 COMMUNITIES, WITH OVER 100 SCHOOL, COMMUNITY, AND ORGANIZATIONAL PARTNERS; HAS RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM MAJOR FOUNDATIONS, INCLUDING FOUR AWARDS FROM THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION. SELECTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND FINDINGS INCLUDE: ?OVER 750 COLLEGE, 3,000 HIGH-SCHOOL, AND 12,000 ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM PREDOMINANTLY MINORITY AND LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES SERVED. 85% OF MLWS ATTEND COLLEGE AND 100% GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL. 85% OF MLWS SHOW GAINS IN PRE-POST YPP MATH CONTENT SCORES. MLWS REPORT SATISFACTION AT BEING ABLE TO HELP OTHERS, AND IMPROVE MATH AND LEADERSHIP SKILLS. A 2006 STUDY OF YPP CHICAGO MLWS SHOWED A UNIQUE POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MATH SELF-CONFIDENCE AND BOTH A SENSE OF AGENCY AND COMMITMENT TO SOCIETAL INVOLVEMENT. I.E. "MATH IS POWER."
