They heal from and avoid drug and alcohol abuse, sexual abuse, dating violence, gang activity and discrimination. Young people become healthier, more confident and self-reliant. Quite simply, YES works to ensure the safety of our kids and our community. We help save lives — 36,000 of them, each and every year.
