YES Awards/accolades

Carf accreditation

YES has been CARF accredited twice so far, most recently we received news of our new CARF accreditation this 2020!.

The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) is an international, non-profit organization founded in 1966 with the assistance of Mary E. Switzer, then U.S. Social and Rehabilitation Services commissioner.

CARF's mission is to provide accreditation standards and surveyors for organizations working in the human-services field worldwide with a base in traditional facilities and institutional settings.

Guide Star SEal Of transparency

A Seal of Transparency appears on an organization’s Nonprofit Profile on GuideStar when the organization has publicly shared important information about its work. A Gold seal means that YES has provided qualitative information about goals, strategies, and vision for public display on GuideStar.

YES is a proud safe space

We believe that every youth deserves permanency — a safe, stable home and relationships with others who will support them, advocate for them and help them negotiate life’s challenges. It’s this belief that fuels our work, enabling our youth to create futures that do not mirror their pasts.

YES is here for youth of ALL races, ethnicities, genders and religions. We affirm and welcome LGBTQ youth and any youth with a history of sexual exploitation.
