YES removes barriers to the experiences kids choose.
Everything begins when a kid hears “yes.”
Youth Experience Sponsorship (YES) exists for one moment: a kid names something they want to do but can’t afford, and YES covers the cost.
Right when they’re ready.
How it works
01
A kid chooses.
They name the experience they already want: baseball, ballet, robotics, a wilderness camp.02
YES clears the cost.
We pay the partner program directly.03
The kid shows up.
The partner runs the experience; the kid does the thing they chose. Once a YES kid, always.So far, more than 130 kids have heard “yes” and done the thing they chose.

Quincy Sailing Experience
“I really loved the way we are able to help set the sails with the crew and help steer. I wanted to catch a halibut for my mom but I wasn’t that lucky. We got to sail and have lunch on Angel Island and that was so much fun. The best part is on the last day with the friends I made on the boat we got to have lots of ice cream and give a tour of the Seaward to our families. I got to show all I learned. I want to go again next summer.”
