$0 Goal

For the past 14 years, the Y.E.S.S. organization has been able to distribute thousands of pounds worth of nutritious food to designated income eligible seniors and families each month due to our partnerships with the North Texas Food Bank and Sharing Life Ministries.

The Y.E.S.S. Kreative MindZ NSBE Jr. Chapter Program consists of school-aged students that meet to participate in STEM workshops and competitions. These students are very inquisitive, hands on, interactive and excited about everything S.T.E.M. related. The students in this class will most likely seek careers in this field.

Y.E.S.S. XprYESSions is a youth leadership & mentoring program where the students in this class are encouraged to "XprYESS" themselves creatively and artistically through dance, poetry, song, instrument, theater or any other approved art format of their choosing.

Y.E.S.S. teaches participants the essential basics of what it will take to start and operate their own business!

Y.E.S.S. introduces the essential process to help participants create their very own inventions!
