Hi I'm Pilar! welcome to Youth Empowerment & Strength - YES.

YES is a non profit organization providing fitness training to our at risk community youth. In my time as a mother and a coach, I've noticed how important the relationship is between physical and mental health and the lack of affordable fitness programs that will train troubled teens who truly need the guidance. Many youth programs are not accessible to financially vulnerable families or struggling youth and therefore are not an option for these teens in our community. Youth Empowerment + Strength is here to change that. At YES, we provide a space for struggling and at risk youth to find safety and positivity through a strength training fitness program.

Strength training can provide teens with self confidence, discipline, natural mood boosters and a sense of accomplishment. While they are training with our team, they will also learn the benefits of nutrition for training as we believe in a top down holistic approach to health and wellness. Finally, youth will be shown kindness, empathy and respect and will learn to be kind, empathetic and respectful in return.

Our program aims to remove as many barriers as possible for this vulnerable sector, and will therefore always be 100% free for our participants. We rely solely on donations, grants and funding such as this platform to run this program.

As we expand and look for ways to welcome more youth into the program, we are in dire need of your support! Your generosity will help to pay for our coaches and our facility and keep the program running for years to come. Each and every youth that walk through our doors will be on a path to a more positive, engaged life thanks to your donations!

$30 will cover the cost of one coach for a training session.

$65 will pay for one session (coach + facility) for one youth

$200 will pay for three sessions in a week - this is three opportunities for young people to make healthy, productive choices and feel empowered and strong!

We encourage you to please share this with others in your community. The more awareness and funds we can raise together, the more we can offer these youth a better chance at a beautiful life.

Your generosity is so deeply appreciated!

Yours in strength,

The YES Team
