Youth Emergency Services, Inc. (YES) is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Omaha, Nebraska, dedicated to helping homeless and at-risk youth. It delivers a continuum of care through five programs: Street Outreach, Emergency Shelter, Transitional Living, a Maternity Home, and a Mentoring Program, addressing both immediate crises and longer-term development. YES operates as the only Omaha-focused organization dedicated specifically to the needs of homeless and at-risk youth, serving a population that spans crisis intervention to ongoing support. Historically, the organization has reported serving more than 1,000 youths in 2012-13, with ongoing demand evidenced by steady monthly influxes at its Street Outreach Center since 2012. Short-term services focus on basic needs such as food, clothing, safety, and shelter, while the longer-term programs aim to help youth gain workforce skills, education support, financial literacy, and housing assistance to foster self-sufficiency. A recent development is a March 2026 partnership with Scooter’s Coffee, signaling community collaboration to support YES's work in the Omaha area.
