YESS

We were grateful to receive a generous donation from the Officers and Companions of North Star Chapter No. 2, Royal Arch Masons, through the Youth Endowment Fund of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Alberta.

This support helps YESS continue providing safety, stability, and essential resources for youth experiencing crisis and homelessness.

We’re so thankful for community partners who help make this work possible.

We’re so grateful to the amazing associates across 8 The Home Depot Edmonton-area stores 💛

Together, you raised an incredible $59,639.56 through the 2025 Holiday Orange Door Project Campaign — exceeding the previous year’s total! 🎉

Youth make up approximately 20% of the homeless population in Canada, meaning each year at least 35,000–40,000 young Canadians have no place to call home.

This is why The Home Depot Spring Orange Door Project Campaign matters. Until June 14, you can support youth at risk of or experiencing homelessness by donating $3, $5, or $10 at 7 locations across Edmonton or online at orangedoorproject.ca.

100% of donations stay local and directly support youth in our community through YESS — helping create safety, stability, and a place to belong.

We’re incredibly grateful to the Realtors Community Foundation for their continued support of YESS for 28 years.

Through their Flagship Charity funding, they’ve committed to a three-year pledge of $20,000 annually ($60,000 total), helping provide reliable, long-term support for our programs and the youth we serve.

At YESS, we don’t just offer support in-house — we also help connect youth with mental health resources and services in the community. Whether you need counselling, ongoing care, or help figuring out your next step, our team is here to walk alongside you and make those connections easier.

You don’t have to navigate it alone. Support is here when you need it.

Did you know? 36% of youth who need mental health support aren’t getting the help they need.

If you’re struggling — or even just having a rough day — you’re not alone. And you don’t have to deal with it by yourself.

Talk to someone you trust, reach out for support, or come by YESS. We’ve got people here who will listen and help you figure things out, no pressure.

You deserve support. Always. 💛
