Youth Encouragement Services
Youth Encouragement Services (YES) strives to enrich the lives of children in inner city Nashville by encouraging them to reach their full potential. Through daily programs such as tutoring, summer camp, a basketball league, job skills training, and other recreational and cultural activities, low-income children are given a positive alternative to the streets and opportunities for a bright future.
Programs
YES programs are developed with the understanding that every child is different, and we encourage children to explore their varied interests. Our After-school and Summer programs give children a safe place to play, hang out, study, play sports, develop social skills and learn moral values. Our Tutoring Program is staffed with volunteers who work with each child individually. We also offer classes in computer, math and English skills.
