Youth Employment Service Of The Harbor Area, Inc.

Youth Employment Service (YES) of the Harbor Area, Inc. is a community based 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping youth begin their path toward economic independence and self sufficiency. YES teaches youth ages 14 to 22 the job and life skills needed to secure and maintain meaningful entry level employment, and develops programs that increase youths' employability, career choices and quality of life.

Description:
Helping a youth get a job and keep a job is what YES is all about. Our philosophy is to provide a friendly environment where each youth is treated with respect. At YES, youth employment needs are addressed on an individual basis. Youth learn the employment process through life, pre-employment, advanced-employment, and job retention skills training. They are referred to good and meaningful jobs here in their own community.

History:
YES is a private non-profit agency incorporated in 1970. YES was founded by community volunteers who believed that employment and the lessons learned from work were critical for youths' positive development. For 38 years, YES has served as a bridge between young people seeking employment and the business community seeking capable and enthusiastic young employees.
