YES’ new J.O.Y. (Just One Youth) Initiative will enable us to exponentially increase the number of youth served annually by recruiting more aligned community partnerships. All of our programs offer a second chance for young people who have left traditional public schools, giving them the opportunity to earn a GED (General Education Diploma) and receive critical guidance for post-secondary success. Recently, we’ve expanded our services to include counseling for high school graduates facing challenges as they transition into their next phase of life. We assist in exploring post-secondary options at local educational institutions, apprenticeship programs, and other training opportunities that lead to sustainable, living-wage careers.
At YES, we believe in fostering personal growth, community engagement, and self-empowerment in every participant, encouraging them to build their skill sets and pursue brighter futures.
