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.
Donors to YIPS gift $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 contributions – leaving no barriers to our work. Financial contributions like these allow our innovative programs to continue and flourish.
NOTE: Starting Saturday, November 14, at 12:01 AM and until Thursday, November 19 at 11:59 PM, all donations will be processed through our 2026 Give Miami Day page. Thank you for your support!
What’s in it for you?
YIPS donors receive one complimentary YES Institute one-day course of their choice. They also enjoy access to networking events with other professionals in the community.
When you donate to YES Institute, you help reunite families, save lives, and restore the vision of a future full of possibilities for young people across the world. Here from one of our newest donors, Tracy Koço.
