Dynasty Winters's Company Details
Youth Empowered Solutions (YES!) is a nonprofit organization that empowers youth, in partnership with adults, to create community change. We do this by hiring and training youth staff as advocates who, in turn, train other youth to be advocates. We equip high school-aged youth and their adult allies with the tools they need to positively impact adolescent health. YES! provides training and support so that our partners gain a heightened awareness of their issue of interest and learn how to take advantage of opportunities to engage in local, national, and international advocacy work. Youth become competent community advocates by receiving training in such areas as public speaking, media literacy, community assessment, gathering community support and working with policy makers.
