Youth Empowerment System

YES is a group that was developed from the Youth Symposium sponsored by JCYF in 2016. 

From the initial Youth Symposium the following name was created for the group:

 YES! We can…

1. Make positive choices
2. Make positive changes
3. Make a difference to improve the quality of life for all Jennings County youth.

1. Crisis:  housing/food (Colleen Malone, Cheri Massey)
2. Youth Development (LeAna Matern, school groups)
3. Mental/Physical (Diana Gray, DATF members)
4. Social Multipurpose (Kate Eder, FFA, Angee Leeds, Dan Wright, Mike Ochs, Howard Jones)
5. Communication (Kate Eder)  

The group may be reached at JenningsYES@gmail.com

The overall purpose of YES is to develop a community collaborative focused on youth programming to provide a means of exchanging information, sharing resources, encouraging partnerships, and promoting community services.
