YES connects middle school students with adults to design, implement, and evaluate community improvement projects that create safer and healthier environments. YES participant projects range from artistic expressions to beautification and beyond. They grow the sense of community and pride. In addition to the community improvement projects, youth have been involved in a variety of other projects that capture their interests and reflect the YES goals of empowering youth to become leaders and improve their communities. Some of these projects from past YES participants include:
Designing & Painting Murals
Planting Community Gardens & Creating Parks
