Youth Empowerment and Support (YES) Network - Spokane County Roundtable
Spokane, WA
This community coalition does not directly serve youth, but it supports those who do.
YES (Youth Empowerment and Support Network) is a community effort to engage relationships among youth and caring adults to support the resiliency of the Inland Northwest and to foster an environment that contributes to positive youth development.
The YES network exists to help mentoring and youth development programs in the Inland Northwest and staff develop, expand, or increase the effectiveness of programs that serve diverse populations. The Network strives for real results by ensuring all programs adhere to best practices and outcomes measurements. Additionally, the partners pool their resources and efforts to benefit their programs, the mentoring profession, volunteers, and the youths served. A united front allows the YES network to present compelling petitions to the business and governing communities to provide high quality programming and training to their constituencies.

Success Story
Rising to the Occasion
Chris was matched with his Big Brother, Will, in July 2010. Chris was 12 and Will was 20. Chris lives with his grandmother who reached out to Big Brothers Big Sisters because she thought a positive, male role model would be beneficial for Chris. Chris and Will meet almost every week and talk in between meetings. When they are together they are very active.
