Y-PLAN Featured in “Berkeley Educator,” GSE’s Annual Journal
"Over the last 15 years, the Y-PLAN curriculum has been used in 10 cities, across five countries, and reaches about 1,500 students a year.

"We want to help design a better tomorrow for Downtown, we are just not sure we are a part of the City's vision!"
