Launched in 2008 with support from the Wm. J. Wrigley Jr. Company Foundation, the Youth. Empowerment. Success. (Y.E.S.) program provides vulnerable youth with access to the education and skills training needed to successfully transition to adulthood. Y.E.S. empowers disadvantaged youth through the development of key life skills (e.g., confidence, effective communication, teamwork), engages them in their communities, and improves their educational prospects. For example, through the program vocational students in Bangalore are learning English, at-risk youth in Moscow are gaining conflict resolution and time management skills, and disadvantaged young people in Barcelona are acquiring computer skills.
