About YOUTH EQUIPPED TO SUCCEED

This profile is for Youth Equipped to Succeed (YES), a 501(c)(3) youth development nonprofit based in Dallas, Texas (EIN 27-0005595). The EIN and tax-exempt status were confirmed through nonprofit filings and public nonprofit registries. YES delivers K–12-focused programs — Motivational Experiences (assemblies), Wellness Education, and Peer-to-Peer Mentoring — designed to build connection, resilience, and healthy decision-making among students, parents, and educators. In recent years YES has expanded statewide reach and organizational capacity: the 2023–24 school year saw six-figure student reach and the organization implemented a board-approved leadership succession plan in 2026 to ensure continuity and growth.

Notable achievements

Planned leadership succession (2026)

In March 2026 the board announced a deliberate three-year leadership transition and named a new Executive Director to lead daily operations, demonstrating governance planning for long-term stability.
