Our Mission

​The mission of the Youth Empowerment Shelter (YES) is to provide youth in crisis a place of physical and emotional safety while assisting them to build positive relationships and develop their individual potentials.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
and
** Happy Snow! **

January
The new year has come roaring in with gusto!  Lots of international drama, national politics, and even snow on our roofs!  We're still here with open doors (well, we'll open them to you).

WELCOME TO "THE YES HOUSE!"  If you're between the ages of 11 and 18, and need a safe place to hang out, come on by - for the day, or night. A crowd is always welcome - as long as safety is maintained. ​

There are 3 qualifying criteria to stay:
1 - you want to be here
2 - you are a  safe person for our household 
3 - your parent or guardian or whomever says it's okay for you to stay.

WELCOME!

514 E. 9th Street, The Dalles, OR

     If you are under 18 years old and have a need of shelter, or know someone who does, give us a call at
541 705-4777. 

It's totally voluntary - the CHOICE of a youth -
with consent of a guardian

Our program is designed
according to Oregon statutes and ordinances
 under  OAR 413, Division 215
