This year, YESS was invited to contribute to a special Canadian issue of Parity, Australia’s national homelessness publication. In their October issue, Preventing and Sustaining Exits from Youth Homelessness in Canada, there are articles from agencies across Canada including “Changing the Definition of Success” by our own Camiel Friend, Nexus Shelter Team Lead, and Jessica Day, Director of Program Innovations.

From Camiel: "The article that I wrote with our Director of Program Innovations, Jessica Day, entitled “Changing the Definition of Success” was our way of introducing one of the most imperative aspects of addressing the trauma of our youth: when we measure progress and outcomes with demographics and stats, we are missing the individualized unique stories of each youth we serve." Learn more about Camiel's experience at YESS.org/blog

Understanding and Empathy are what youth need when things are starting to go wrong.

When you see a youth on the street in Edmonton, you are not just seeing someone without a home. You are seeing a child who is hurt. Many of the aggressive, anti-social, or drug-related behaviours we see in vulnerable youth are a direct result of trauma.

It takes a community to create space where youth can heal and move forward. Join us and our amazing vulnerable youth-supporting partners as we #healtogether

We had a goal to raise $6000 on Giving Tuesday--the amount to support one youth for one year at YESS.

Together, you raised $20,475 in one day!
Your gift will change the lives of youth on their journeys towards healing and appropriate community integration, providing them access to a warm, safe space, nutritious meals, healing resources like therapy and art programming, and opportunities to work on their goals for their education and future career.

In 2018/2019, 729 individual youth accessed our programs. It will take a community to support all the youth who need access to the resources we have at YESS.

You are truly part of the community walking beside youth.
Thank you!
