Project Yes
Project YES (Youth Envisioning Social change) began in Boston in 1991 as a pilot program through Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education. Led by graduate students Beth Krensky and Carol MacNeil, the program supported youth in using the arts as a vehicle to make their voices heard about important social issues in their lives. When the pilot ended, it was the youth who served as the driving force in developing the project into an organization. In 1994, Project YES relocated to Colorado, became incorporated in 1995, and earned its 501(c)(3) status in 1997.
For almost ten years, Project YES existed as a volunteer-run organization, leading after-school arts and service workshops in various schools and communities. Following two years of workshop programming in Lafayette, Colorado, in which hundreds of students were impacted by Project YES’ internationally recognized model, Project YES found a need in the community for free after-school and summer programming. In response, Project YES opened the Youth Center in 2000, serving nearly 1,000 youth since its inception. To further its services, Project YES initiated the Lafayette Service-Learning Partnership in 2001 with support from the Colorado Department of Education, and in 2003 reintroduced its arts for social change workshop through the Art in the Community program. |
