The MISSION of Youth Empowerment Shelter 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.

                “I would like to say that YES House played a big part in my life in the year and a half that I lived in Oregon. I spent a good majority of it at the YES House I could not be at my house during hard times, and when those times were hard the YES House opened up their doors to help me grow. They gave me a nice place to sleep, food to eat, and a healthy environment to do my work and get my first job. Sadly, there were roadblocks in my way, but the Yes House did not stop helping me to be successful. They gave me tools I needed to be successful in school. For example, giving me a tutor for math, even though I thought it was hopeless and felt like dropping out. Even though they would have supported me in what I wanted, instead, they kept pushing me to do better, because they knew I could do better and didn’t give up on me………I personally know that I am a different person because of the experiences I had at YES House.”   Male, age 17

“It gave me a shelter when I needed one. It is helping me in some ways like food choices and budgeting. I’d be living on the streets if I weren’t here. It’s a big house.”  Male, age 18

 
 “Homey. It’s like you’re always going to have someone to lean on. Caring. Good vibes.” Female age, 17

“It’s clean and I have my own room. I’m not on the street, so that’s pretty cool. There are quiet places to do schoolwork. There’re always good people around who want to help. I’m thankful for the YES House.” Female, age 17
