Year Up: skills building charity

[SwordGuy]

MSN is recommending this organization as a charity that actually helps poor people get out of poverty.

Any of you have any experience with it?

You're welcome!  Charity Navigator is my go to for determining which charities do their stated intent with your $ vs. those self licking ice cream cones that spend most (or even all) income on admin and fundraising.  Based on their rating, I may send some money to Year Up.

I'm familiar with YearUp and I know it to be a great organization. (I've worked with/in/for nonprofits for 20 years).
