YESS YOUTH ECONOMIC SOCIALISM SERVICES (YESS) was born out of a deep commitment to the welfare and development of the youth in New Orleans and beyond.
We are a non-profit organization dedicated to nurturing the potential of young people and guiding them towards a path of success, leadership, and community engagement.
Our journey began with the realization that the challenges facing today’s youth are more complex and multifaceted than ever before. From the pressures of social media and the impact of economic inequality to the rise of mental health issues and the prevalence of negative influences, young people today are navigating a world that can often feel overwhelming and unforgiving.
It is against this backdrop that YESS was established, with the mission of creating a safe, supportive, and empowering environment for youth to thrive.
At the heart of our organization is a belief in the transformative power of education, sports, and community service. We understand that education is not just about academics; it’s about equipping young people with the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to navigate life’s challenges.
Our educational programs are designed to go beyond the traditional classroom, offering youth opportunities to explore new subjects, develop critical thinking skills, and engage in lifelong learning. Whether through academic support, vocational training, or leadership development, we are committed to helping our participants reach their full potential
Introduce Us
Community service is another cornerstone of our work at YESS. We believe that by giving back to their communities, young people can develop a deeper understanding of the world around them and a stronger sense of responsibility towards others.
Our community service initiatives are designed to instill in our participants the values of empathy, compassion, and civic engagement.
We encourage youth to take an active role in improving their communities, whether by volunteering at local organizations, participating in community clean-up efforts, or leading initiatives that address social issues.
Through these experiences, we hope to inspire a new generation of leaders who are committed to making a positive impact on the world.
