What is the #YESCampaign?
Our annual, month-long social media campaign in March strives to increase awareness of the contemporary social issues that continue to negatively impact marginalized youth and spark necessary conversations about change.
The campaign not only crowdsources possible avenues for intervention from students, professionals, businesses, and other organizations throughout the United States, but also established a virtual network of diverse participants from varying academic backgrounds, professions, and locations from which individuals can engage and benefit.
