Project YES (Youth Excellence Services) is a prevention program in Mifflin County, PA offered by TIU Community Education Services.  This is a voluntary program that targets at risk middle school students who display success-hindering behaviors.

​Bullying
Attendance Issues:
Frequently absent

Transition Issues:

​Project YES works with students, parents, and school staff to establish goals that will address academic, attendance, and behavioral concerns.  A variety of activities are offered to assist students in meeting their goals.  They include:
  • Home visits
  • Study hall and lunch program
  • After school activities that focus on social skills, career awareness, nutrition, school pride, and community service
  • Individualized incentive program
  • Summer program

​The expected outcomes of the program are improved academic performance, attendance, and reduced behavior problems.  Progress is monitored and reported to all participating parties on a regular basis.  Referrals are accepted from school personnel, agencies, or concerned community members.  A thorough assessment, which includes information from the parent, school, and other involved agencies is completed to determine if services are appropriate.  Length of service varies based on the individual’s need.
