Rewards for Results Program

The Rewards for Results Program:

Overview:

The Resilient Youth Foundation's (RYF) Rewards for Results Program honors and rewards students from low income neighborhoods, who achieve and excel in school, and who show resilience in the face of adversity. The reward programs goal is to motivate struggling youth to achieve their potential, and to recognize those students who have succeeded in difficult circumstances. RYF distributes and identifies students through Guidance Counselors from targeted schools. Counselors then identify students, set individual goals for them, and then track their progress. If their goals are reached, RYF rewards them for their hard work. This program develops self-confidence, and good work habits in students, and teaches them that with drive and persistence, they can excel in school, and in life.

Our Philosophy:

We believe that our investment in these rewards, and these students, give much more than a materialistic gift. Many of the targeted students have no one in their family that has ever gone to college, and they have this notion that they are academically dumb, and inferior. Our reward system is meant to motivate, and encourage, struggling students to set higher goals for themselves, and persevere to achieve them. There experiences will instill them with good work habits, self-confidence, and self-worth, priceless traits that will benefit them for the rest of their lives. These students are not inferior, and can excel, and we strongly believe we are helping to make that truth, a reality.
