Community Alliance for Youth Success (CAYS)
CAYS was founded in 2011 by Bobbi DePorter and Stedman Graham.
CAYS – Community Alliance for Youth Success – is focused on bringing the YSW program to communities across the US and beyond. The program is volunteer-based. CAYS provides direction, ideas and suggested curriculum and each community determines the program that will best help their youth succeed. The only requirement to participate is that the programs need to focus on youth success, on giving youth a voice, and on supporting youth in discovering their purpose through involvement by the community.
- CAYS is a national organization focused on bringing the YSW program to every community in the US and beyond. The program is free and provides direction, ideas and suggested curriculum, but each community will determine the program that will best help their youth succeed.
- CAYS is founded by Bobbi DePorter, founder and CEO of QLN (http://www.qln.com/bobbi.aspx) and Stedman Graham, founder and CEO of The Identity Leadership company (http://www.stedmangraham.com/). They have combined their passion for and experience in helping youth succeed to create this program help every student succeed across the USA and around the world.

Results
In 2015, CAYS partnered with Oceanside Unified School District/Oceanside Promise to develop the first Youth Success Week in January 2016. The Oceanside Promise is a community-wide partnership to support youth from cradle to college and career. In 2016, Youth Success Week reached 23 schools; 18,000 students in the district; and 13,269 families. In 2018, after 3 years of growing success, the program is expanded and has now been adopted by Oakbrook in Illinois. For 2019, multiple school districts in California and in other states are evaluating how best to implement their own Youth Success Week program.
