Funding And Partners
 

The YES Center is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization and is funded through grant awards, fundraising activities and donations from generous community members.  It is our goal to make our services easily accessible to all youth and families, regardless of their ability to pay.  Therefore, most of our programs are free of charge and our after-school teen programs have a yearly membership fee of only $5 (with full scholarships available).
