Youth Emergency Services Moves Administrative Offices
After more than a decade at its previous location, Youth Emergency Services (YES, www.yesomaha.org) has moved its administrative offices one block east. The move was effective April 4. YES’ new address is 2566 Farnam St., STE 301, on the third floor above Site-1 Brewing in the Quarters neighborhood. The entrance to the building is at Hank & Ax salon. The move was made to accommodate staff and case managers in more efficient and secure offices. The new location has secure doors inside and out and offers more space for staff and visitors.
“We see this as not only an opportunity to move to a more accommodating location but also as a fresh start as we move forward,” said Interim Executive Director Kalisha Reed. “We are excited to have everyone together in a more open, accessible space, and we welcome people to stop by and say hello.”
YES asks that all future item donations be made to the YES Street Outreach Center located at 2602 Harney St. – just one block south of the new offices. Financial contributions should still be sent to the administration address.
Youth Emergency Services is the only nonprofit in Omaha with the sole mission to help youth experiencing homelessness and near-homelessness. Last year, YES provided support and services to more than 750 youth in the Omaha metro area. Many of these youth have been physically, emotionally, or sexually abused, making it unsafe for them to return home. Without YES, these vulnerable young people cannot succeed independently.
