Walk for YESS
Join us on Sunday, September 20 for our 2nd annual Walk for YESS, where walkers of all ages and abilities come together to raise funds for youth in crisis. Participants register, build a personal fundraising page, and spend the weeks leading up to the event rallying their networks. Then join us as we walk together on event day in support of a cause that matters.
Every dollar raised goes directly to facilitating 24/7 low-barrier shelter and wraparound support for young people ages 15 to 21 in our city.
Youth Empowerment and Support Services (YESS)’ Youth Support Centre is a 24/7, single-point-of-access to immediate and low-barrier physical, mental, cultural, and emotional health supports and a safe place to stay for youth aged 15-21 who are experiencing crisis in the Edmonton Metro Area. The Youth Support Centre also host Monday to Friday Resource and Health Hubs with physical and mental health clinics and youth-supporting resources to ensure youth 15-24 get the help they need, when they need it.
