Within an intersectional framework, the Centre aims to prioritize the needs of BIPOC and those who are most marginalized by the patriarchy and cishetero-normativity in our community, whether through creating social spaces or resources and advocacy. We use a social justice model that is informed by a holistic understanding of anti-oppression and feminist politics. This model aims to recognize the ways in which ideas and experiences of gender are shaped by racism, colonialism, classism, ableism, cis-heteronormativity and all other forms of oppression. Where possible we will approach our work within a harm reduction lens and opt for restorative justice practices over carceral feminism.

YES works to reduce and prevent homelessness by providing shelter, education and transitional supports for youth and families in Peterborough and the Kawarthas.

YES provides emergency shelter to youth and families in crisis. We serve roughly 250 new clients every year, in addition to many who have stayed at the shelter before. In addition to emergency housing, we offer support to youth and families through:

• Longer term transitional housing at Abbott House

• Assistance adapting to independent living through the Transitional Life Skills program

• Alternative high school education at The Carriage House (in partnership with PACE and the KPRDSB)

• Vocational, educational and recreation programs (in partnership with other community services)

• An emergency food cupboard

The shelter is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
