Y.E.S.M.M.E.N stands for (Youth Enrich­ment Ser­vices Male Men­tor­ing Enrich­ment Night) and is an after school men­tor­ing pro­gram sched­uled every Thurs­day of each month. The pur­pose of Y.E.S.M.M.E.N. is to pro­vide a safe envi­ron­ment for the phys­i­cal, emo­tional, and social devel­op­ment of teenaged men through men­tor­ing, phys­i­cal activ­ity and group forum style dis­cus­sions on issues they face every day. The ulti­mate goal is to cre­ate a pos­i­tive major­ity of young men that are informed and moti­vated lead­ers in their com­mu­nity. In a pos­i­tive major­ity, the males will be able to with stand neg­a­tive peer pres­sure because they would have estab­lished a peer group amongst them­selves and it will have con­ta­gious effect on all of those who come in con­tact with it.
