SHARS Compliance Manager - YES Prep System Office (July 2019)

Even though 85% of our students are economically disadvantaged,  YES Prep   provides evidence that different outcomes are possible. Eighty-seven (87%) of YES Prep alumni matriculate to college within one year and alumni like  Eddie Zapata   are earning their college degrees at five times the rate of their peers with similar socioeconomic backgrounds. How do we do this? Each of YES Prep’s  19 campuses   serves 6th-12th graders like  Monique Bowie .   Students typically enter YES Prep one or more grade levels behind, but quickly find themselves on a different life trajectory. This is a result of transformative relationships with teachers and leaders, and access to excellent educational opportunities. As the first minority-majority city, Houston’s schools cannot keep up with demand from students like Eddie and Monique. Houston is the 4th largest city (on track to become the 3rd), and this booming population translates into 2,000 families on YES Prep’s waitlist. YES Prep’s student enrollment is estimated to grow 31% between now and 2023 (from just over 13,000 students currently to 17,000). THE OPPORTUNITY YES Prep needs a dynamic SHARS Compliance Manager, with a diverse set of experiences, to make our mission a reality.
