MISSION PLAN

MISSION 1: SCHOLARSHIP
The York Charitable Foundation is committed to providing valuable scholarship opportunities for students who meet our criteria and are driven to achieve success. We firmly believe in collaboration with educational institutions, working closely with universities and colleges to make sure that additional resources are readily accessible. Our dedication to students goes beyond financial support: we understand the importance of guidance and personal development.
To this end, in our Mission Plan Phase 1 we will provide full-scholarships for tuition, fees, books, and student services. We will ensure that tutoring, mentoring, and counseling services are readily available for those students who seek them. Moreover, meetings will be conducted to closely monitor and assist each student in their academic journey, fostering an environment where every individual can thrive and reach their full potential.

MISSION 2: HOUSING
The York Charitable Foundation is committed to supporting students in various aspects of their educational journey, including housing. Our primary objective is to aid each student in securing suitable residency near their chosen educational institution. We are dedicated to providing financial assistance to our scholars to address their housing requirements.
Recognizing that fulfilling other fundamental needs is paramount to their success, we will also assess and address additional financial requirements for essentials such as food, clothing, and other necessary items as needed. Our holistic approach aims to ensure that students can focus on their education without the burden of unmet basic needs.

MISSION 3: SUPPORT (FUTURE PHASE)
The York Charitable Foundation is taking proactive steps to enhance the student experience by developing and overseeing its own residential facilities. These housing units will be strategically located in a premier school district, ensuring that our students have access to the finest educational opportunities the state has to offer. To provide a supportive and nurturing environment, residents of York housing will benefit from the presence of live-in adult supervision. These dedicated individuals will take on the responsibilities including facilitating transportation, providing meals, offering supervision, fostering a conducive study environment, and helping with various aspects of daily life.

MISSION 4: YCF CENTER (FUTURE PHASE)
The York Charitable Foundation is embarking on a new initiative to offer housing to underserved high school students, providing them with a transformative opportunity to break free from environments that may have previously hindered their path to success. By relocating to a nurturing and supportive environment, these students will be better positioned to build a brighter future for themselves. Beyond housing, the York Charitable
Foundation will provide comprehensive support through a range of wrap-around services aimed at facilitating their success. These services encompass essential resources such as tutoring, counseling, and access to work programs, ensuring that each student receives the assistance they need to thrive.
Moreover, students enrolled in the housing program may have the opportunity to qualify for a York scholarship, contingent upon meeting specific criteria. Our mission is to empower these young individuals to achieve their full potential and attain the education and skills necessary for a promising future.

This extension of our program underscores our commitment to providing a supportive and enriching environment for young individuals, equipping them with the tools and resources needed to set a strong foundation for their future success.
By reaching out to middle school students, we aim to foster a sense of aspiration, academic growth, and personal development, ensuring that they are well-prepared for the educational challenges ahead. Our goal remains to empower the next generation with the skills and confidence they need to build a brighter future.
