Welcome from Bill Burnett
Welcome to YES, an initiative designed to help young
people in elementary, middle, and high school better connect with their schools (and families) by building on their strengths and partnerships with adults to create healthier conditions in their school communities. Connectedness to school increases academic achievement and acts as a buffer against a myriad of negative outcomes such as academic failure; alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use; violence; teen pregnancy; suicide; depression; and delinquency.
Whether a young person or adult visiting this site, we are excited about your commitment to YES and thank you for making a difference in your school.
