Over 60% of youth experiencing homelessness don’t have consistent access to nutritious meals. At YESS, youth can access hot meals, snacks, and a safe place to eat every day. Something as simple as knowing where your next meal is coming from can make a huge difference. 💛

Happy Pride Month 🌈💛 At YESS, we aim to make youth to feel safe, supported, respected, and welcome exactly as they are. Pride is about community, belonging, and knowing you deserve to take up space. We see you. We support you. 🫶

36% of youth who need mental health support aren’t getting it. If you’re struggling, you’re not alone. Talk to someone you trust or reach out — you deserve support. 💛

Over 60% of youth experiencing homelessness don’t have consistent access to nutritious meals. At YESS, we make sure our youth don’t have to worry about that—providing three meals a day, plus snacks throughout the day, so they can focus on school, work, and building their future.

Houselessness doesn’t always look like sleeping on the street. Many young people move from couch to couch, staying temporarily with friends or family because they don’t have a safe place to call home. We’re here to provide stability and support when youth need it most. 💛

Our cultural and spiritual room at YESS is a place where youth can practice their beliefs, connect with their culture, or explore something new. Whether it’s quiet reflection, prayer, or learning about different traditions, everyone is welcome.

Check out this amazing poster board created by some of the youth at YESS! 🎨💛 The goal was to showcase our services, and one youth went above and beyond, sharing her personal story and journey at YESS. It’s inspiring to see how our youth express themselves!
