Numbers tell a powerful story when they represent lives touched. Every child who participates in a class or workshop through YES! brings those statistics to life. Nearly 10,000 youth have experienced enrichment through our programs—and behind each number is a moment of growth, discovery, or joy.
Impact isn’t just about participation—it’s about transformation. When a child masters a tumbling skill, performs in front of peers, or learns teamwork in cheer, their self-esteem grows. They discover talents they never knew they had and develop habits that support lifelong growth.
Our programs operate across dozens of schools, community centers, and afterschool programs, ensuring kids have access to the arts where they already spend their time. By bringing enrichment directly into these spaces, we remove barriers and widen the circle of opportunity.
Impact at YES! means equipping children with tools they’ll carry long after class ends—confidence, resilience, and the belief that they are capable of greatness. That’s what nearly 10,000 lives touched really looks like.
