Mission Statement
The YES Foundation of White Center serves children, youth and young adults through relationship based programs that foster self and social awareness, promote education and repurpose power in an underprivileged community
About This Cause
Like youth everywhere, the youth of White Center are full of potential. They are creative, intelligent, talented and determined. Sadly, for many of the youth in the White Center community, opportunities are limited, financial resources are scarce, alcohol and substance abuse are often components of daily living and lastly, crime and violence are too often present. Everyday, our kids face challenges that threaten their hope of not only graduating from high school, but of growing into successful and well-adjusted adults. A recent survey of White Center teenagers revealed the disappointing statistic that almost 40% are not committed to school. Over three out of 10 ninth graders (35%) attending Evergreen High School drop out without graduating 4 years later. Of those who graduate, only 40% of Evergreen students seek post high-school training or education (4-year college, 2-year college, Vocational, Military). The YES Foundation of White Center exists to address the social, economic, educational, physical and spiritual needs of youth in the White Center area while providing stability and purpose to youth who are most at risk. By developing programs and partnering with other organizations, we provide kids with positive role models and powerful life experiences to encourage their hope and vision for a future.
