Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture, Arts Education, Children & Youth, Education, Literacy, Performing Arts, Remedial Reading & Encouragement, Youth Development Programs
Mission: Project Y.E.S. fundamentally stands to empower youth beyond the public school system by engaging them to reach their full potential. We are dedicated to providing a positive environment by integrating the academic, vocational, and social skills training our youth need to succeed. It is our goal to assist at- risk or displaced youth, to develop a positive self-image, set realistic yet significant goals and benefit from first-hand experiences in positive social relationships. We endeavor to grow and transform the whole person (spiritual, mental, physical, and social) resulting in a culture of excellence for youth and their families, providing them with hope through caring relationships and developmental opportunities.
Target demographics: Through a series of curriculum-based services we intend to foster self-discipline, self-confidence, self-reliance, self-awareness, leadership skills, and positive decision making habits. The interactive workshops and trainings will include dynamic speakers, and other community resources that will address leadership development, financial and entrepreneurial literacy and corporate education.
Geographic areas served: a large urban area adjacent to Washington, DC
Programs: Project YES! provides mentoring and music enrichment programs for youth that have been identified as at-risk or displaced. We give them the opportunity to work in groups with a caring mentor to improve their ability to develop a positive attitude towards their future
