It’s — a day where we introduce you to the incredible people who are helping change lives and make a difference at the YES House 💙
Today, we’d like you to meet Kellyn Gillenwater, our Grants Manager, who joined the YES House team on February 16th 2025! In her role, she helps support the organization by securing funding that allows YES House to continue providing vital programs, resources, and care for the youth we serve.
When asked about her favorite thing about YES House so far, Kellyn shared that one of the things that has stood out most is the safety and support the organization provides for youth. She has already seen how deeply the staff care about the young people who come through our doors. Their dedication to helping each youth grow, heal, and move forward in a positive direction is truly inspiring, and it’s something that makes her proud to be part of the team.
One thing Kellyn wishes everyone knew about YES House is that many of the teens who come here are going through some of the hardest moments of their lives. YES House provides them with safety, guidance, and people who genuinely believe in them. It’s a place where youth can find hope, build confidence, and begin to see that their future can be brighter. 💙
