Helping youth in crisis thrive again…
Youth Empowerment Shelter (YES)
provides youth in the Columbia River Gorge
a place of physical and emotional safety while
assisting them to build positive relationships
and develop their individual potentials.
Helping Those In Need
For many youth, the challenges of life in the 21st century are overwhelming. YES helps youth in the mid-Columbia Gorge region find the hope, confidence, and skills they need to achieve stability and success in their lives. We run a year-round youth shelter and also provide community-based day services to young adults and families experiencing a crisis, hardship, or barrier.
Come On In!
If you are between the ages of 10-24 and need a safe place to stay or a person to talk to, YES is here to help. Call us at 541-769-0262 or contact us.
Our program is compatible with Oregon statutes and ordinances under OAR 413, Division 215
Support Y.E.S.
Through generous donations from people like you, more than 200 youth in our community have been able to access a safe and supportive environment.
