It’s Thankful Thursday! 💙 Today, we’re giving a huge shoutout to the amazing volunteers who helped make Walk for YESS happen! Thank you for showing up for YESS and for youth in our community.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at YESS! 🧡🍂 Today, we’re taking a moment to be grateful for the people who make our community stronger. Thank you for being part of the YESS community and for helping us create a place where youth can find support.

A huge thank you to Dwayne Robertson and the Samies IOOB Club for their generous contribution to the Adopt-A-Teen program! The cheque presentation on Saturday, September 26, was a wonderful event filled with camaraderie and heartfelt support. Together, we're making a difference!

In 2025–2026, 746 youth accessed YESS programs and services—and 24% more youth turned to us compared to the year before. Together, we provided: 🏠 18-day average stay 🥗 21,900+ meals & snacks 💬 240 counselling sessions Behind every number is a young person finding support.

Bring your pup and join us for a walk through Mill Creek Ravine on September 20 while raising funds to support youth in our community. We’ll be awarding a prize for Top Dog to celebrate the pup who brings the most spirit to Walk for YESS. Register today! yess.org

You can’t always carry everything you own with you. That’s why we offer secure storage bins where youth can safely store belongings they don’t need right away—from winter coats to extra clothing and personal items. When they need them, their things are there.

A huge thank you to 5 Days for the Homeless for their continued support of YESS! This year, University of Alberta students raised an incredible $18,225.65 for YESS—surpassing last year’s donation! Thank you for continuing to show up for youth!

A huge thank you to Subaru, our Walk for YESS Visionary Sponsor! We’re so grateful for your support in helping make Walk for YESS possible and for standing alongside youth in our community.
