Helping the youth of Eugene succeed

Youth Empowered Spreading Success (YESS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering a nurturing and secure environment for the next generations, where they can explore their potential and develop essential life skills. Our mission is to provide youths and young adults with a sense of belonging and equip them with the tools necessary for success in life.

To achieve our mission, YESS offers a variety of engaging after-school and weekend programs, tailored to the diverse interests of our community's youth. One of our key offerings is an indoor skatepark, designed to provide a safe and accessible space for young skateboard enthusiasts. This indoor skatepark complements our other activities, which include dance classes, a music room for budding musicians, and a recreational room with pool tables, board games, and chess lessons, promoting social interaction and critical thinking skills.

While the indoor skatepark is a significant component of our facility, YESS remains committed to providing a comprehensive range of activities to cater to the varying interests and needs of our community's youths. We believe that by offering diverse opportunities for personal growth in a safe space, we can empower them to build a bright future for themselves and their communities. Our commitment to inclusivity and our extensive range of activities make YESS a unique and valuable resource for the families we serve.
