YASO
YASO stands for Young Adults Speak Out.
YASO is a safe place for teens and young adults to talk about the things they cannot talk about in school, home, or church.
End of the day this is what YASO is, no hierarchy, no rules, no tracts. A pizza party meets group therapy meets fight club. A family. Messy, lovely, and spiritual.
YASO meets every other Saturday for our gatherings. This is where we speak out on a topic. There are also other things we do in YASO and we will get to those in a moment. The most essential thing about YASO is that everyone is welcome and it is confidential. Everyone needs a safe place to be themselves and share with others, YASO is that place for many.
Here are some other things YASO does:
- Quarterly Formal Parties
- Lock Ins
- Mini Retreats
- Field Trips
- Artistic Expression Exhibitions
- Welcome to the Real World Community Awareness
- YASO Scholarship Fund
- Community Service
- Awareness and aid of Domestic Violence issues, Sexual Assault, and Families with Terminally Ill Children
- And Much More
