A FREE, Not-For-Profit Character Education Program THAT WORKS!
Yes Pa is an abridgement and textbook edition of the autobiography, Prisoner of the Truck, developed with the help of character education teachers. It is now required reading in many schools and highly recommended by teachers for shared reading between an adult and child.
The results of two independent science-based outcome studies support the significant, positive impact of the Yes Pa program. Students showed significant increases in their belief that they have control over their future and that positive outcomes are related to their efforts.
“Messages of character have to be delivered by a person of character. Fred Sarkis is such a person, and the story of his remarkable life will help anyone, young or old, to be a better person and lead a better life. ‘Prisoner of the Truck’ and ‘Yes Pa’ have the power to touch hearts and bring out the best in us all.” — Dr. Thomas Lickona
