Following a single Year Up class from admission through graduation, A Year Up lets students share - in their own words- the challenges, failures, and personal successes they experience during the program. It is the inspiring story of a pioneering program that is bridging the Opportunity Divide, with results that can fuel our economy and revive the American ideal of equal opportunity for all.","brand":"Penguin Adult Hc\/Tr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45408463224983,"sku":"9780143123705","price":2089.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780143123705.webp?v=1767309951","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-year-up-helping-young-adults-move-from-poverty-to-professional-careers-in-a-single-year-9780143123705","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
