The YES (Youth Employed & Succeeding) program works with local youth, employers, educators, and community agencies to ensure that young people dealing with significant social and economic challenges can achieve academic and career success.

The YES program empowers young people to realize their potential. It connects local businesses with prospective employees. It partners with other community agencies who work with disadvantaged youth to provide needed educational and vocational services.

Over 200 young people have enrolled in the YES program because they were ready to change their lives.
