Your support is vital to our mission at YES Institute: To prevent suicide and ensure the healthy development of all youth through powerful communication and education on gender and orientation.
Members of YIPS donate $250 or more annually to YES Institute. Payments can be arranged to be on a flexible monthly, quarterly, or yearly schedule.
Last year, fifty percent of youth and families received scholarships towards our courses thanks to YIPS member contributions – leaving no barriers to our work. Financial contributions like these allow our innovative programs to continue and flourish.
