The YESS Cafe @ Ice on Whyte
What do you get when you combine great weekend weather, amazing volunteers and a truly worthwhile cause? You get the YESS Cafe @ Ice on Whyte! Running from January 25 - February 3, YESS staff and volunteers teamed up to host the most happening tent at the festival. Hot Choclate and coffee flew out the doors and the YESS Cafe enjoyed a record year - raising over $10000 towards supporting youth facing difficult realities in Edmonton! There's only one word to describe the amazing efforts put forth by everyone involved: remarkable.
YESS continues to innovate it's approach to youth empowerment. January 24th marked the first AMplify: YESS event, put on by our friends at Incite Marketing. Local youth, board members, donors and community leaders descended upon the AYC to discuss how to make Edmonton the world leader in empowering youth facing difficult realities.
