YES offers several groundbreaking educational courses guided by leading research and a spirit of inquiry.

Our commitment is to create new ways for people to understand and view gender and orientation, while introducing new ways for people to relate to each other. We are always on the hunt for the latest research that underscores the practical needs of the communities we serve. Practical exercises grounded in theoretical presentations are a hallmark of YES Institute’s work across all sectors of our community.
