Year Up: A Social Entrepreneur Builds High Performance
By: Allen S Grossman and Naomi Greckol-Herlich
Abstract
Year Up, a nonprofit job-skills training program for low-income, urban youth has run four successful programs in four cities for the past seven years. Now, after an ambitious capital campaign, the organization is poised to grow into a national program in an attempt to reach the 4.3 million disconnected youth in the United States, but will the organization be able to maintain high-quality results as it goes to scale?
