Youth Enrichment Services

Founded in 1968, Youth Enrichment Services (YES) is a thriving non-profit organization providing Boston youth with year-round outdoor programs and leadership development opportunities.

Our mission is to inspire Boston youth through outdoor experiences that build confidence and prepare them to summit life's challenges.

YES prioritizes serving low-and-moderate income youth with a focus on young people living in the Boston neighborhoods of Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan, and Jamaica Plain.

All youth at YES are Boston residents and we welcome all young people regardless of race, ethnicity, or economic status. YES currently serves more than 1,200 children and teens annually.
