Youth Enrichment Services (YES) is a mid-sized non-profit based in Boston, founded in 1968, that provides year-round outdoor programs and leadership development for youth. The organization aims to inspire local young people by offering outdoor experiences that build confidence and prepare them to meet life’s challenges. YES primarily serves low- and moderate-income youth from the Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan, and Jamaica Plain neighborhoods, but it welcomes all Boston residents regardless of race, ethnicity, or economic status. Each year, YES engages more than 1,200 children and teens in its programs. Operating within the non-profit sector, YES uses outdoor education as a vehicle for personal growth and skill development among youth. In 2025, the organization marked a milestone toward expanding its footprint with the establishment of a future headquarters in Jamaica Plain, celebrated with a beam-raising ceremony. This growth underscores YES's broader goal of increasing access to outdoor experiences for Boston youth. More recently, YES has pursued partnerships to broaden its reach, including collaboration with Equitable School Partnerships (ESP) of Boston to organize outdoor trips for students.
