The mission of the Say Yes Buffalo partnership is to strengthen the WNY economy by investing in the education of Buffalo’s future workforce. The primary goals of the partnership are to convene the schools, parents, teachers, administrators, governments, higher education, community based organizations, businesses and foundations to increase high school and postsecondary completion rates.
