Expansion momentum YES is actively expanding school-based services with new positions in Issaquah School District and broader Eastside districts, signaling growing demand and hiring capacity that could align with partner programs, funding opportunities, or joint service delivery contracts.

Public sector partnerships Recent partnerships with Issaquah School District and City of Kirkland indicate a strong foothold in public education and municipal settings, presenting avenues for collaboration on student mental health initiatives, counselor placements, and grant-funded programs.

Awarded credibility Receiving the WASA Community Leadership Award enhances YES’s credibility with school districts and funders, creating openings for re-engagement on RFPs, pilot programs, or expanded school partnerships in additional districts.

School-based focus A pronounced strategic shift toward school-based services across multiple districts suggests a scalable model for school counselor networks, telehealth in schools, and integrated behavioral health curricula that can be packaged for district-wide adoption.

Multi-channel engagement Foundational tech stack and funding model with sliding fees and insurance acceptance positions YES to propose tiered community partnerships, joint grant proposals, and digital outreach campaigns to expand reach and sustainability.
