April 12 speaker
 

Our guest speaker on April 12 was Joan Patton.

Joan is Fundraising chair for YESS (Youth Empowerment & Support Services).

Joan talked about how YESS started out as the Youth Emergency Shelter providing emergency accommodation for kids who had aged out of the Child Services program. It changed to the YESS when it acquired the Armoury building and began to provide day services for youths.

The society is now a major operation with a multi million dollar budget providing support to youths up to the age of 24 year.
