Y.E.S. : 50 Years Of Community Building

Youth Educational Services is more than just an easily acronymed program title. It's a piece of Humboldt State University history. What started as an off-the-cuff idea between two faculty members has grown into a formidable force on campus and the community. Y.E.S. supports student-initiated, student-led volunteer programs that serve local community needs. By creating a collaborative, inclusive and safe environment, Y.E.S. volunteers become active creators of their own learning by exploring new ideas, developing leadership, connecting deeply with their peers and those they serve, and building meaning through reflection. Through the years, over 5,000 volunteers and thousands of community members have benefited from Y.E.S. programs. These are the threads that weave together the contributions of five decades of Y.E.S. community members, a quilt created by hands and hearts of all ages. This book honors all the voices and perspectives shared, and those yet to be shared, that together form the powerful legacy of Y.E.S.
