Youth Empowerment Society

The Victoria Youth Empowerment Society [YES] offers services for youth and their family/caregivers throughout the Capital Region.YES welcomes all members of our diverse youth community.

Mission And Vision Statement

The Mission Statement of YES is twofold: First, to assist youth to remove themselves from the high risk environment of the street and make the transition to healthier and more constructive life situations and Second, to help youth and families make positive choices, which will prevent involvement in at risk behaviour or connection with the street scene.

Our vision is to provide a continuum of care that empowers positive choices in the lives of multiple-barrier youth by providing accessible, innovative and proactive programs.

We strive to meet the needs of youth by working in partnership with families and the community to deliver a safe and supportive environment for at–risk youth. We do this by being resourceful and meeting community standards as demonstrated through the experience and professionalism of the YES staff.

Our endeavour is to be recognized by the community as valuable resource for youth and their families.
