We have annual opportunities for people to help us raise the funds we need to continue our work. Here are just a few of those options:

Events
YES hosts an annual Golf Outing in May and a silent auction - YESfest in November. New to the event line-up is Metro Stars Dancing for Homeless Youth to be held on August 28, 2009. Volunteers are always needed to help plan and staff these events.
