Youth Empowerment Services (YES) Network

Youth Empowerment Services (YES) Network was established in February of 2007 in an effort to reduce duplication of services by recruiting financial partners and community partners to provide administrative support to small non-profits (direct service partners) and to coordinate services to at-risk youth, parents and neighborhoods. As an intermediary agency, YES-Network’s effort is to deliver better collaborative services more cost-effectively than individual agencies could provide alone. Our mission is to create and support a coalition of strategic partnerships with community-based youth empowerment service agencies in order to empower positive change in at-risk youth through experienced leadership, quality management and effective programming.
