Youth Empowerment Solutions (YES) focuses on the youth in the program. Youth in the YES program work to change the community as a way to prevent youth violence. In YES, youth are part of the solution; they have power to make decisions about how to make their community more peaceful and stop youth violence. Youth and adults work together to accomplish the program goals. YES is a program that includes empowering processes for youth. It helps youth develop the skills they need to assess their community, and it gives them decision-making power in developing and implementing community change projects. YES empowering activities help youth avoid risky behaviors and develop into productive, healthy adults.
This program is available to children no matter where they live or go to school. If you have additional questions or want to learn more, please contact our team. We'd be happy to assist you!
