🎉 YESS TURNS 10 🎉
A Decade of Impact.
On January 12, 2016, Youth Empowerment Success Services (YESS) was founded with one bold belief:
youth aging out of foster care deserve more than survival — they deserve stability, opportunity, and connection.
Ten years later, that belief has turned into action.
✨ Hundreds of young adults supported
🏠 Safe, stable housing created
🎓 Education and employment pathways unlocked
🤝 Lifelong, non-transactional connections built
What started as a vision is now a movement. And we’re not slowing down.
As we celebrate 10 years of YESS (1/12/16–1/12/26), we’re also gearing up for a milestone year filled with:
🔥 Powerful impact stories
🔥 Special community celebrations
🔥 Our 10-Year Anniversary Foster Walk
🔥 And bold next chapters in our mission to ensure young people are housed, educated, employed, and connected
This anniversary isn’t just about looking back —it’s about building forward.
Thank you to every young person, partner, funder, volunteer, and believer who made these ten years possible.
The journey continues — and the best is yet to come.
📅 Stay tuned. Celebrate with us. Walk with us. Build with us.
