SIMON SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2022
25 YEARS OF SYF 2023 is an important year in the history of Simon Youth Foundation. All year long, SYF will be celebrating its 25th anniversary as an organization supporting high-quality Alternative Education programs. In 25 years, SYF Academies have graduated more than 26K students. Each of these graduates has strengthened their local community by earning their high school diploma and graduating with the skills they need to take their next step, whether that be enrollment in post-secondary education, employment, or enlistment. In its first 25 years, SYF has also supported students and communities through their scholarship programs. Over $21M in scholarship funds have been awarded through three scholarship programs. These students have gone on to attend over 500 different colleges and universities in 32 states. The largest scholarship program we provided is for the Academy network students. Over the years, the Academy scholarship has evolved to meet the needs of its students. Once limited to two- or four-year renewable scholarships that had to be used at colleges or universities, Academy scholarships may now be used for other post- secondary educational options that result in an industry-recognized certification. Students have earned certificates in welding, emergency medical services (EMS), cosmetology, and other programs that will enable them to meet their academic goals, find employment that is meaningful to them, and become engaged members in their communities.
