Coming to a new place for help can feel scary or overwhelming — we get that 💛

When you first come to YESS, our staff will help you get settled in and connect you with support. That could mean a safe place to sleep, food, clothing, hygiene supplies, mental health support, or just someone to talk to.

We’ll also help you figure out next steps like housing, school support, life skills, and other resources when you’re ready.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before coming to us. We’re here to help.

Happy Pride Month 🌈

At YESS, we believe everyone deserves a safe place to be themselves — to feel respected, supported, and accepted without judgment.

For many youth, having access to safe spaces and affirming support can make a life-changing difference. This month and every month, we remain committed to creating an environment where young people feel seen, valued, and connected to community.

Pride is about visibility, belonging, and celebrating people for exactly who they are. 💛

We’re excited to launch Mending Hope 🧵💛

In this program, we team up with The Mended Thread to teach you simple hand sewing skills so you can fix and take care of your own clothes and shoes. From jackets to jeans to boots — you’ll learn how to make your stuff last longer and stay in good shape.

It’s hands-on, chill, and you’ll build skills you can actually use in everyday life (and keep forever).

New skills. Real-life use. A little more independence each week

We were grateful to receive a generous donation from the Officers and Companions of North Star Chapter No. 2, Royal Arch Masons, through the Youth Endowment Fund of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Alberta.

This support helps YESS continue providing safety, stability, and essential resources for youth experiencing crisis and homelessness.

We’re so thankful for community partners who help make this work possible.
