Mission Statement

Youth Encouragement Services (the YES Home) is a trauma informed agency that encourages youth to achieve their highest potential, improve behaviors and make positive choices. We provide a family like atmosphere for youth to develop pro-social, independent living and employment skills. We promote connections with youth, their families, and community. 

Youth. Families. Connection. 

The YES Home is currently raising funds to renovate the first floor of the building in order to serve more youth.  The goal is to serve youth ages 10-14 on the first floor and continue with older youth on the second floor.   We are excited to expand our programming to include both our new recreational building and greenhouse.   

Come join the Infamous Few Charity Riders in raising money to support the YES Home!!  Motorcycles, Jeeps, & side-by-sides welcomed!
