Join the YES Institute Professionals Society
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.
Here’s the difference you can make
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.
- For $21/month: 1 school can begin creating safer classrooms through an authenticate dialogue on gender and orientation with teachers and students
- For $42/month: 2 schools can launch innovative bullying prevention education for their students
- For $63/month: 1 family can participate in our signature Communication Solutions™ course
- For $84/month: 5 community organizations (schools, parent groups, health care facilities, or faith communities) can begin to source solutions to gender-stereotyped violence and discrimination. This giving level makes you part of our Kiaora Society of Donors.
What’s in it for you?
YIPS members receive one complimentary YES Institute one-day course of their choice. They also enjoy access to networking events with other professionals in the community.
“I give because I know my contribution saves lives,” Amy Chavez, YIPS member.
