Trainings
Youth Empowered Solutions (YES!) offers a number of custom services to help support your youth-adult partnerships and advocacy efforts. Our advocacy work is centered on strategies that empower youth to address critical issues facing their communities: teen tobacco use, childhood obesity, substance abuse and access to healthcare.
With the YES! Youth Empowerment Model at its core, you will find YES! trainings to be interactive & action-oriented. We equip high school-aged youth and their adult allies with the tools necessary to take a stand in their communities and create change that will positively impact adolescent health. We provide training and support so that our partners gain a heightened awareness about their issue of interest, and learn how to identify and take advantage of opportunities to engage in local, national, and international advocacy work by utilizing the YES! Youth Empowerment Model.
For more information about our Custom Services, or other ways YES! can work with you, contact Emily Lockhart at (919) 741-6124 or emily@youthempoweredsolutions.org.
