Mission Statement
Our mission is to develop and implement alternative education solutions, effective programs and practical action strategies for disconnected youth and their families.
Description
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.
