YESS opened its doors in 1981. That means we've been walking beside youth for almost 40 years! Sometimes we receive messages from former youth who share what they have learned and accomplished since their time at YESS. These messages mean so, so much to us and emphasize the importance of providing safe spaces for youth.

Thank you so much to these organizations who have donated food to our kitchens! Being able to provide healthy and nutritious food for our youth not only fulfills a basic need, it also helps build trust and develop a sense of safety youth feel in our programs. Truly, these donations mean so much!

Thanks to Central Carriers, @drift_foodtruck, Mo-Na Food, and @suncorenergy!

The rise of the pandemic in the spring meant that we had to interrupt our Youth Education and Employment Program. Some youth were unable to complete their work experience, and some were unable to even start.

Now, the Youth Education and Employment Program is back up and running, and all five youth in the program have work placements! It means so much to see our youth take steps towards their goals!

Learn more about the Youth Education and Employment Program on our blog!

Thank you.
What a week. Over 1K participants, $80K raised for local mental health orgs, 20+ virtual mental health sessions, thousands of kilometres walked, ran, biked, or rollerbladed!

We loved seeing you guys progress through the week, see teams competing, and goals met! Loved hearing you talk about your reasons for #breakingthesilence. Loved talking about mental health all week!

We’re grateful to have had a week of connection with you. A time to pause amid the uncertainty of this new normal. Thank you.

Thank you so much to this team of volunteers from @suncorenergy! They did yard work, garbage pickup in the neighbourhood, and planted flowers at our Whyte Ave building!

They had so much fun, and it was wonderful to see volunteers again!

Program Kitchen Coordinator and YESS Chef Tiffany

Program Kitchen Coordinator and YESS Chef Tiffany Sorensen has been making instructional cooking videos to share with youth that feature ingredients from emergency food hampers! Tiffany usually hosts a program teaching youth how to cook, both for life skills and for the culinary practicum of our Youth Education and Employment Program. Although the delivery method of these programs have changed, Tiffany's love of teaching about food and cooking has not!
