Youth Emergency Services (YES) — Shelter & Support for Homeless Youth

About This Opportunity

The only organization in the Omaha metro solely focused on youth homelessness — serving young people since 1974. YES provides a comprehensive continuum of care for youth and young adults ages 16–25: a 24/7 staffed Emergency Shelter, the Transitional Living Program (apartment-style housing for up to 18 months for ages 16–21), a Maternity Group Home (for pregnant and parenting youth ages 16–21), and the Drop-In Center at 2602 Harney Street offering food, clothing, showers, laundry, and connections to services for anyone ages 16–25. Street Outreach meets unsheltered young people where they are and connects them to the Drop-In Center and shelter.
