When the disciples heard “Peace be with you” their hope was instantly restored. They realized the story wasn’t not over, but just beginning.

We feel the same shift every time a child walks through our YES doors. Whether it’s through a shared meal, homework tutoring or celebrating our annual egg hunt- we are dedicated to the business of restored hope.

This work is only possible because of our supporters like you. Thank you for continuing to show up and spread hope!

A special shoutout to Mr. Mario, who was recognized today by Glencliff Elementary School among a group of incredible drivers!
We want to take this opportunity to not only recognize his patience and care behind the wheel, but also the many roles he carries at YES. From being a protector to a mentor, and always keeping everyone laughing, he shows up for our kids in every way. We appreciate you, Mr. Mario!

Today we’re celebrating a YES student who has grown up right before our eyes. 🌟

Hadessa has been part of YES since she was 5 years old, and it has been an honor to watch her grow over the years. She has always carried a bright spirit, a heart full of love, and a natural leadership mindset. Whether helping others or sharing her creativity and talents, Hadessa has always stood out.

Now she is heading to TSU on a full ride scholarship, chosen as 1 out of 100 students, where she will be pursuing dental hygiene! It is such a blessing to watch our students grow into their purpose.

Big things ahead, Hadessa. Your YES family will be cheering you on every step of the way! ❤️💛💜

Black history is present tense.

We close out our series of highlighting black excellence by recognizing someone who has not only made an immense contribution to the Nashville community- but to the future of science for years to come! Thank you Clarice Phelps for paving the way for many more young pioneers to come.

And thank you to all the individuals who show up, and continue to take on the challenge of living a life of purpose and persistence. You are truly building brighter futures for the next generation of leaders☀️

Black history is present tense.
Today, we honor Trevor Jones for the dedication he shows to Nashville’s youth, especially our boys. Through mentorship, guidance, and even something as simple as a haircut, he helps build confidence, resilience, and a sense of possibility.

Trevor, your work is shaping the future, and we are grateful for your leadership.
