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.

Summertime

WELCOME!  Summertime can be complicated!  Too much opportunity!! If you're needing 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. 

August
 Summer is coming to a close soon!  The splash at the pool, lazy days of sleeping till noon, road trips and catching whopper trout . . . . all of that will soon be past, and the thrill of the classroom with brilliant works of genius will be upon us once again. If the opportunities of academia are challenging in the context your home, we can help with that. Let us work together to find solutions.

There are 3 qualifying criteria:
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
541 993-4279. 

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
