As it marks its 30th anniversary on February 26, 2026, the YES Institute has announced the launch of its Uplift Fund, aiming to raise $1 million to expand its vital work in Broward and Palm Beach counties. The funds will support local youth and families through education and outreach, helping the organization grow its impact over the next thirty years in South Florida and beyond.
Founded to prevent suicide and promote healthy development among at-risk LGBTQ+ youth, YES Institute is the only Florida organization solely dedicated to this cause without government funding. Its mission is more crucial than ever.
Join the celebration with a special event on February 28, 2026, aboard the Biscayne Lady Private Yacht—dining, dancing, and supporting a vital cause.
