Every year @hockeyhelpskids empowers students from four schools to team up with an Oiler and support a local charity of their choice.

Hillcrest School is Team Khaira and they have selected YESS as their charity of choice! You can help them win $25,000 for their campaign by voting once a day, every day until voting closes February 19.

Vote now (and every day until February 19!) at hockeyhelpskids.com

The #OrangeDoorProject raised $737,500 for 121 charity partners addressing youth homelessness in Canada! Over $37,000 was raised by several Edmonton stores in support of YESS!

Thank you to all the donors in Edmonton and across Canada who came together as a community for this campaign to walk beside youth experiencing trauma and homelessness. 📸: @thebirdspapaya from @homedepotcanada

Due to a water main break, our Whyte Ave office will be closed today. We will be unable to accept in-kind donations--thank you for not leaving items unattended around our building.

We will continue to provide updates on social media. Stay warm out there, Edmonton!

In 2018, we updated our vision to focus on walking beside traumatized youth on their journeys towards healing. In 2019, that vision came closer into focus with the introduction of our own internal Trauma Care Team and we want to introduce you to the incredible folks doing the work of helping our youth heal.

Meet Marcia and Bethany and learn more about the incredible work they do at YESS on our blog! Link in bio

Thank you so much to the team from @bestbuycanada Downtown Edmonton for their amazing donation of $600 worth of electronics that we were able to use for youth Christmas gifts!

In the fall we launched our new Youth Education and Employment Program and it has led to some truly remarkable experiences for our youth and our staff!

One of the practicum sessions is hosted by YESS chef Tiffany, who has created a pre-culinary syllabus for youth who are interested in the culinary industry. They have made butternut squash ravioli, crepes, spaghetti squash and Parmesan fritters, and all kinds of other dishes!

In this program youth build employment readiness skills, industry-specific foundations, and life skills to help prepare them to achieve their education and career goals. The program includes a job shadow and practicum.

We are able to receive in-kind donations once again this week! Thank you so much for your generosity this holiday season, #yeg!

Resiliency and Belonging are what youth need as they exit homelessness and enter community.

It takes a community to create a space where youth can heal and move forward. It takes a community to ensure that a youth feels like a valued and welcome member. We cannot ensure this without you and your community walking beside us as well.

You are truly part of the community our youth need. Join us and our amazing vulnerable youth-supporting partners as we #healtogether
