About Youth Empowerment & Support YES Mentoring Program

The YES Mentoring Program provides youth ages 6-18, who struggle with emotional and/or behavioral difficulties the chance to interact and participate in fun, age-appropriate activities, with a positive role model. While the volunteer role model is spending quality time with the child/adolescent, parents and/or guardians will have some time for themselves.
