Mission Statement
Founded and run by formerly homeless youth and their allies, the Youth Empowered Society (YES) works to end homelessness in Baltimore by supporting currently/formerly homeless youth to become leaders in our community and by providing desperately needed, direct services, to youth who are experiencing homelessness.

The YES Drop-In Center is Baltimore City’s first and only drop-in center for homeless youth, providing a safe space for youth who are experiencing homelessness and between the ages of 14-25.
