Youth Empowerment and Spirituality 2024

August 4 - August 11

Having been around in many forms for many years, YES (Youth Empowerment and Spirituality) is a youth and young-adult conference for ages 16-22. Our goal is to: help our conferees empower themselves, grow together, make lasting connections within the community, and explore spirituality in our own ways. Through a week of activities, theme dinners, late night talks, and good vibes, the YES conference wants to allow young people to find their own feet, all while having a good time in the sun.
