    I found out about this group while looking at Kaitlyn's post regarding the Boston Youth Service Network. This organization is one of the many in the BYSN. They do great work trying to keep kids (of all ages) in school and on an educational path, with college as a goal. I wonder how many UMass students have come through their program.

    Although this group is located in Salt lake City, I think that the work that they are doing is awe inspiring. read the history and mission and stratagy, and I think you will be impressed with all that they do with only volunteers.
