A Thoughtfully Designed, Safe, and Supportive Home
The YES House
At Youth Essential Services (YES), we believe that a superior residential environment directly impacts the well-being and success of the youth we serve. Traditional group homes often fall short of providing the safety, structure, and positive atmosphere necessary for healing and growth. Our solution? A meticulously designed, highly secure, and fully supportive residence situated on 4.5 acres of land that fosters stability, personal development, and positive outcomes.
