YES Foundation

What YES Foundation does

YES Foundation is a private nonprofit organization established in 2011 in Raleigh, North Carolina, operating as an affiliate of Yelverton's Enrichment Services, Inc. (YES), which has provided CARF-accredited treatment and rehabilitative services for at-risk youth since 2006 and holds ACHC Accreditation for Private Duty Nursing. The foundation's stated mission is to provide free mental health services to uninsured and underinsured at-risk youth and to deliver free resources that help combat poverty and improve quality of living for families served across Wake County and surrounding North Carolina communities.

The foundation is currently developing two core facilities. The YES Youth Center, a 2-story multi-sport facility on approximately 3 acres in Raleigh, NC, will offer an indoor basketball court, football/soccer field, locker rooms, elevated jogging track, and classrooms for day programs serving both members and casual users. The YES Wellness Center is designed as an integrated healthcare facility combining behavioral health and primary care services for youth and adults ages 5 and up; it is projected to employ 150-200 staff and serve 1,000-2,000 members annually, and also functions as the corporate office for Yelverton's Enrichment Services Inc.

YES Foundation operates a donation-funded model with services provided free of charge to beneficiaries. Revenue is sourced from individual donors, corporate sponsors (including Walmart), community partners, and government grants — most notably the 2024 Wake County Community Capital Grant supporting the Youth Center. Go-to-market is community-led: beneficiaries are acquired through healthcare-provider referrals, local outreach, and community partnerships in Wake County. The organization employs 101-250 staff and is led by CEO Sherrie Campbell and Executive Director Ella Bost.
