Attend an Event
YES holds fundraising and community events throughout the year, and we would love to see you at one soon!
Thank you to all of our community who supported YES Fest: Grounded and Growing. More than 500 community members attended, including Mayor Eduardo Martinez and Contra Costa County Supervisor John Gioia, and 20 partner organizations hosted performances, activities, and community booths to help us kick-off the public phase of our Base Camp capital campaign with a burst of community fun and fundraising momentum. Visitors toured the future Base Camp building with YES youth leaders Alexa, Ean, and Marisol, joined garden walks with the Youth Engagement Team, and added their names to the donor recognition tree, a symbol of shared pride and investment in YES’s future.
Together we raised over $250,000—more than double our original goal—for the new YES Base Camp. We are now 77% of the way to our $7M goal and plan to break ground in March 2026.
