Make It Monthly
For the month of March, our online donation platform CanadaHelps will donate an extra $20 for each new monthly donation of $20 or more*. Monthly giving is an accessible way to give what you can, and still have a huge impact for youth in our community.
It costs just over $20 a day to support one youth in YESS programs. Your monthly donation means youth have access to the resources they need, on the day they need it most. At YESS, youth can access crisis support and safe sleeping 24/7, as well as primary medical care, mental health care, and connections to other resources.
Based in Edmonton, Youth Empowerment and Support Services (YESS) provides immediate and low-barrier 24/7 shelter and temporary supportive housing for youth ages 15-21, and daytime programs and resources and individualized wrap-around supports for young people ages 15–24.
We work collaboratively within a network of care focused on the prevention of youth homelessness by providing youth with the necessary supports to stabilize their housing, improve their wellbeing, build life skills, connect with community, and avoid re-entry into homelessness.
