Interested in volunteering with YES? Volunteers are an essential component of our organization. Without them, much of the work we do would not be possible. Volunteers not only assist the work of YES staff but have the satisfaction of knowing that they made a difference in a young person’s life. Whether young or old, an individual or a group, all are welcome to volunteer as part of the YES Family. Volunteers help in a number of ways, from providing resume and job assistance, facilitating group activities, organizing and sorting donations, helping us clean our space, and so much more.
