As part of our enrichment and art therapy programming, YES encourages the youth in our care to express themselves through art — drawing, painting, music, and more. Every holiday season, this comes together with our annual card decorating contest—a treasured tradition for YES youth.
Since the contest began over a decade ago, YES has kept an archive of every card submitted. Now we're bringing them to you, our wonderful community.
Each 12-pack of holiday cards directly provides unhoused LA youth with housing, therapy, food, hygiene items, and the wraparound services they need to build self-sufficient lives.
Pre-order your pack for the 2026 holiday season today!

Designed by YES program youth, these special holiday cards not only share your seasonal messages to loved ones, but also support housing, mental health care, and essential services for young people experiencing homelessness. Each purchase helps fund the resources YES youth need to move toward stability and independence!
