Capital Campaign - Youth Emergency Services, Inc.

The Y.E.S. House Campus

Our new campus is located at 905 N. Gurley Avenue.
The City of Gillette has generously set aside 20
acres for the Y.E.S. House Campus.

Capital Campaign Project

The purpose of the Y.E.S. House Campus Project is to unify all of our programs into one location and expand our programs to more children and families, while being as cost effective as possible. The campus will allow the Y.E.S. House to continue to meet the demands of our community for treatment, intervention, and prevention services.

The Campaign plan is to build 4 buildings on one site. The expansion of the facilities will provide a space increase from 20,926 sq. ft. to 52,117 sq. ft., which will allow us to serve 217 children per day verses 152 children that we are currently able to accommodate.

Facility	Current/Former Size	New size
Boys Residential Treatment Facility	7,150 sq. ft.	10,336 sq.ft.
	12 treatment beds	16 treatment beds
	--	12 group home beds
Crisis Shelter	2,776 sq. ft.	5,954 sq.ft.
	6 crisis beds	10 crisis beds
School	5,000 sq. ft.	25,491 sq.ft.
Girls Residential Treatment Facility	6,000 sq. ft.	10,336 sq.ft.
	12 treatment beds	14 treatment beds
	--	12 group home beds

Phase 1 of the campaign has been completed with the construction of 2 buildings on the site. On February 1, 2008, the Boys Residential Treatment Cottage moved into its new building. The new Crisis Shelter opened its doors on March 7th. The new Group Home began operations in its portion of the Boys residential treatment building on March 17th.

On April 4, 2008, an Open House was held at the two new buildings to celebrate their completion. Governor Dave Freudenthal stated in his congratulatory speech that "youth are one-third of our population, but 100 percent of our future." To that end, the YES house will continue to pursue the construction of two more buildings to consolidate our services and have the space to offer services to more youth and families.

Phase 2 of the campaign is now under way. Not only do we serve more than 60 students each day in our on-site school, we also provide 7 different prevention and support programs to youth and families. Nearly 100 youth are served each day. Space is extremely limited and unfortunately we are not able to implement everything we would like to into our programs simply because we do not have adequate space. The new facility will accommodate our current needs and leave us with room to grow in the future. Its goal is to raise the funds needed to construct the Center of H.O.P.E.. This building will house the Day Treatment and ACE/PACE programs, the on-site school, and the therapeutic and administrative offices.

The Center of Hope is an essential piece of the new YES House campus. As we continue to pursue our fundraising goals it seems as if we are putting together many pieces of one puzzle. We recognize that we can not do this alone. The Yes House Foundation is launching the “Essential Piece” campaign that allows individuals and businesses to purchase pieces of the puzzle. In honor and recognition of your contribution, your name will be displayed on a puzzle piece as part of a memorial wall that will be erected after the building is complete
