What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Academic
Utilizing hundreds of volunteers from the business community and area colleges, children receive one-on-one homework assistance and tutoring in basic literacy, math and English. Sessions are held on Tuesday evenings. After each session, children enjoy a nutritious meal and are provided transportation home.
After-School & Summer Programs
Offered at both locations weekday afternoons during the school year and all day during the summer months, Youth Encouragement Services’ organized programs provide a safe place to play, relax, do schoolwork, participate in sports, develop relational skills and learn moral values.
Summer Camp
Many children who grow up in public housing have never had the opportunity to explore outside their own neighborhood. Each year over 300 children are taken to one of our week-long sessions to experience the wonders of nature at a 17-acre camp in Joelton, TN.
Arts/Cultural Programs
Because many low-income children don’t have access or exposure to the arts, YES has recently added an “Arts and Cultural Enrichment” program to bring the arts to them. YES has always incorporated art projects and music into our programs, but this new program will take us to a new level by bringing in several talented professionals to nurture the children’s interests and talents in three areas: art, music and drama.
