WELCOME to the Y.E.S. House. It is my pleasure to introduce our programs, and explain what the Y.E.S. House can offer to families who are facing challenges in raising children. I have been with the Y.E.S. House for more than a decade, and have witnessed many success stories that would touch anyone’s heart. I have learned when the family works hard, has a willingness to change, and believes that they can overcome the issues; they will succeed.
When children and their families are in the care of the Y.E.S. House, it is a time to make life changes, to learn new skills, and to set a new roadmap. Our dedicated staff help children realize their potential and possibilities; and then assist in making dreams a reality. Our children’s dreams are the same as yours and mine, “the dream of safety, love, support, and happiness”. I encourage you to read the information on this website. Maybe you have children that need our programs, maybe you have a friend who is struggling, or maybe you are a person who wants to get involved in our programs by becoming a mentor or foster parent.
Youth Emergency Services has been around for over 45 years, serving the youth of Wyoming. Empowering
It's #MeetMeMonday, a day where we introduce you to the amazing people who are changing lives and making a difference at the YES House. Today we'd like you to meet Tatyana Walker, a fun mom to two who keeps busy with her five pets: two quails, two chickens and one aquatic frog!
Tatyana has worked at YES House for nearly 22 years as the Development Director.
We asked her what some of her favorite things about the YES House are.
"I love our caring and supportive staff. Working at the Y.E.S. House is a job of the investor. Each staff invests a complex mixture of time, energy, skills, and creativity in each youth. The payoff is unknown. Sometimes it is a short turn around, sometimes it is years before they see the results of their investment in a youth. Staff are committed to every youth.” Tatyana also says the Y.E.S. House is like a grandfather clock with so many different moving parts. Every part has to perform in order for the complex operation to work. 100 employees and 1,400 youth served annually.
Thank you, Tatyana, for making a difference!
