Closing the Dallas Opportunity Divide with Year Up
For Mary Lynn Amoyo, Senior Director of Philanthropy for the nonprofit program Year Up, the last year has been the year of pivots: a pivot for Year Up staff, for Dallas College El Centro instructors, for corporate partners and especially, a pivot for students. Despite all the challenges and changes due to COVID-19, the program’s stakeholders have persevered and found their way in an ever-changing environment, a lesson extremely valuable for young people to learn in making their way in the world.
