Youth Empowerment Solutions (YES)

SRSLY’s Program for Youth 


The YES Program is designed to help youth in Chelsea develop the skills they need to create positive change in their community, including:

•Teamwork & Leadership

•Community Assessment

•Program Planning, Implementation and Evaluation

 

During YES, youth learn from SRSLY members and staff about community-level, primary prevention. Participants get to meet and interact with local leaders from business, health care, city government, and the non-profit sector. Working with their peers, they learn how to identify risk factor and protective factors in the community, and how they influence youth substance abuse.  As part of a team, youth participate in the planning and implementation of a new or existing SRSLY project. Follow project completion, teams measure and celebrate their success.
