Abstract
In 1995 we began the process of transforming our literacy program into one that measures its worth by the strength and self-determination of adult learners and the communities in which they live. Seven years later, YMCA Educational Services (YES!), formerly Operation Mainstream, is still striving to become genuinely community-based and community-led.
