YES Coalition Members:
The YES Coalition is a group of 15+ organizations located in or working along Colorado’s Front Range that engage youth in environmental stewardship. While such a network has long existed for stewardship organizations statewide, youth organizations have been largely compartmentalized or participating in small-scale collaboration.
The YES Coalition was initiated in the spring of 2017 by Wildlands Restoration Volunteers to bridge that gap with the intent of establishing best practices, determining partnership opportunities, and maximizing our impact through collaboration. The Coalition is led by three guiding organizations: Colorado Young Leaders, Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado, and Wildlands Restoration Volunteers.
Interested in Joining the YES Coalition?
YES Coalition members are asked to contribute $100 annually to gain access to these great resources and to help our coalition continue to host our annual events. If your organization isn’t able to contribute financially but you’d like to be involved, please reach out. We are happy to work with you—there are many ways to contribute if this isn’t possible for you right now.
Reach out to the YES Coalition Leadership Team (youthexploringstewardshipco@gmail.com) for more information.
