YES believes that people have solutions to the numerous and critical problems they are faced with; therefore, it is important to empower and enable people to seek for possible and positive remedies.
Youth Exploring Solutions (YES) provides a unique intervention and conduit the focus of making people become problem solvers and creating a new generation of tolerant and critical thinkers that would assist in rebuilding the broken fabrics of war-torn Liberia.
We have worked tirelessly without financial support from anywhere and yet we are struggling to survive using our limited resources to implement various programs and projects.
We are nurturing the leadership capacity of young people while empowering them to acquire quality education. We have engaged young people to effectively and meaningfully engage into development through volunteerism and self help initiatives.

Youth Exploring Solutions works full time in Montserrado County and part-time in three counties in Liberia—namely: Gbarpolu, Lofa and Grand Bassa counties. YES hopes to expand its activities in other parts of Liberia, especially in remote areas and work with hard-to-reach groups.
