Who We Are
For 35 years, Youth Enhancement Services, Inc. (YES) has been a pillar in Metro Atlanta, empowering underserved youth, ages 16 to 24, through alternative education, post-secondary options, workforce readiness, and cultural enrichment. With a legacy of impacting over 5,000 young lives, we remain committed to breaking cycles of poverty, disconnection, and creating pathways to success.
Our premier initiative, Just One Youth (J.O.Y.), expands our reach by forging a movement of strategic community partnerships, allowing us to serve even more young people each year. We provide a second chance for those who have left traditional schools without graduating and guidance for high school graduates seeking direction. Our programs support youth in earning a GED, exploring college, apprenticeships, career training, and securing living-wage jobs.
At YES, we cultivate resilience, self-empowerment, and opportunity, equipping youth with the skills and confidence to build brighter futures—for themselves and their communities.
