"In June 2000, Public/Private Ventures (P/PV) established the Youth Education for Tomorrow (YET) initiative, an after-school and summer literacy program originally based in Philadelphia. To date, YET Centers have improved participants’ reading scores an average of 1.2 grade levels for those with at least 180 days between tests. Since the program’s inception, P/PV’s after school literacy technical assistance has expanded to reach children in over 500 after school classrooms throughout the nation."
