About Us

 

The YES Partnership is a community-wide coalition dedicated to support Tuolumne County youth and families by preventing suicide, substance use and child abuse.  The Partnership was established in January 1986 in response to several teenage suicides in Tuolumne County, California. 

​

The YES Partnership works collaboratively with local organizations, parents, and teens to create a drug-free and suicide-safe community by increasing protective factors among youth through the following three strategies:

• Engage youth in leadership opportunities

• Support and provide positive adult interaction with youth

• Develop youth assets

 

The YES Partnership actively supports the following:

• The TRACE program to reduce youth access to alcohol

• The Drug Enforcement Administration’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day

• Tuolumne County Resiliency Coalition

• Tuolumne County Suicide Prevention Task Force

• Friday Night Live

• Club Live

• EPIC Youth Coalition
