WHEREAS, Youth Empowerment Services, Inc., a nonprofit | ||
organization dedicated to improving education in San Antonio and | ||
throughout the United States, celebrated its 28th anniversary on | ||
January 20, 2023; and | ||
WHEREAS, Founded in San Antonio on January 20, 1995, YES, | ||
Inc., was originally established as a program designed to keep | ||
children and young adults engaged during the summer months; the | ||
summer program eventually evolved into a charter school that | ||
remained in operation for 16 years; and | ||
WHEREAS, In 2010, YES, Inc., embarked on its current | ||
mission to provide high-quality training to educators, and it has | ||
since focused on helping teachers become more effective so that | ||
their students can improve academically; it has successfully | ||
trained more than 1,000 educators and has been awarded over $100 | ||
million in state and federal grant funds; the organization has | ||
consistently provided employment to residents, recruited | ||
numerous teachers to area schools, and assisted many students by | ||
offering additional educational training and support; in | ||
addition, it annually donates items such as school supplies, | ||
blankets, clothing, and food to various homeless shelters and to | ||
holiday events within the community; and | ||
WHEREAS, For nearly three decades, Youth Empowerment | ||
Services has made a meaningful difference in the lives of | ||
countless educators and students, and it is indeed deserving of | ||
recognition; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
Legislature, hereby commemorate the 28th anniversary of Youth | ||
Empowerment Services, Inc., and extend to all those involved | ||
with the organization sincere best wishes for the future; and, | ||
be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
