YCAL impacts the lives of students through a variety of career education and development activities, which serve the needs of our local workforce. With an efficiently managed budget...

YCAL is able to have a career education impact on the lives of students in York County for approximately $25/student 

The York County Alliance for Learning (YCAL) is a 501(c)(3) intermediary organization that works with businesses and schools to provide career education, relevant academic experiences, and work based learning to York County students. The mission of YCAL is to connect educators and employers to engage students in career exploration and development. 

For students, YCAL provides direct impact through a Career Education Readiness Workshop held in March, the catalog of over 30 different Career Exploration Programs, which are offered at different times throughout the school year, various Pre-Apprenticeship Programs, and the Manufacturing Days Tours.  All of these programs provide students with opportunities to explore careers, develop skills, and make a more informed career decision.

Every January, we award Innovation Grants to educators funding bold, creative career exploration projects in their classrooms. We also bring educators and business leaders together in partnership meetings to tackle shared challenges — because the best solutions happen when schools and employers are in the same room.

The result? By the time Give Local Day arrives, YCAL will have directly impacted over 1,800 students this school year alone.

And we're just getting started. YCAL is actively growing — developing new programs and forging new partnerships to serve even more students, educators, and employers. But growth takes resources.

That's where you come in.

Whether you'd like to make a financial contribution or volunteer your time and expertise, your support helps YCAL reach further and do more.
