What Y2O is, and isn't

A record, not an admissions tool

Y2O doesn't score students for you or replace your process. It adds the confirmed side.

Y2O is

  • A verified record students own and control
  • Confirmed by named coaches, employers, and teachers
  • Anonymised insight for partner institutions
  • Named records only when a student opts in
  • Portable across schools and after graduation

Y2O is not

  • An admissions, hiring, or ranking tool
  • A grades, transcript, or SIS replacement
  • A way to see named students without consent
  • An AI tool. The value is human confirmation
  • Student data sold to advertisers
FAQ

Questions institutions ask

Still wondering? info@youth2opportunities.ca

What do institutions get access to?+

Anonymised insight across verified student activity and full records when a student shares one with you. Opt-in discovery is coming soon.

Can we trust what's on it?+

Every confirmed entry shows who confirmed it, their role, and the date. Self-logged activity is marked as unconfirmed.

Does the Growth Score rank students?+

No. It measures each student against a fixed standard, not against each other.

Does it replace transcripts?+

No. Grades still matter. Y2O adds confirmed context beyond them.

Can we see named students?+

Only students who opt in or share their record with you. Everything else is anonymised.

Is this a paid service?+

Yes. Institutional access is a paid partnership. Early partners help shape what it includes.
