THE VICTORIA YOUTH EMPOWERMENT SOCIETY

about

At YES, we dedicate ourselves to helping youth and their families achieve their goals, while respecting their individuality and recognizing their diverse and sometimes challenging needs.  Our commitment to healthy lifestyle choices creates an atmosphere where youth can feel safe and supported as they progress toward their goals.  We believe everyone should be treated with equality, dignity, respect and acceptance.  

VYES provides a range of programs for youth ages 12 to 24 and recognizes and respects gender and cultural diversity.  Our programs include drop in centre, support services, emergency shelter, youth detox, wellness groups, youth food pantry and advocacy to address issues:

* substance use

* mental health

* basic needs

* transition to adulthood

* access to employment and education

* homelessness

* family breakdown

* social isolation

* food insecurity

All funds donated through Canada Helps will go toward direct service delivery or the Housing Support Fund or Youth Food Pantry (as directed).  To learn more about our organization, please go to www.vyes.ca.
