Youth Encouragement Services, or YES, has been helping children in Nashville for nearly fifty years. They specialize in helping at risk children in inner city areas maximize their full potential through offering after school programs from tutoring to fall and winter basketball.
Academics: YES offers back to school services, providing pencils, paper, etc. to children whose families struggle to provide them with the necessary school supplies. They offer homework help and after school tutoring, and they don’t forget to reward the kids for exceptional effort. Academic achievement is rewarded at the end of the year with a special field trip for honor roll kids.
College Scholarships- It is extremely rare to find viable scholarship opportunities for inner city kids, but YES has done just that, thanks to the generosity of their donors.

Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee is one of the most important food donation charities in Nashville. Hunger is a growing problem in the United States, with over 35 million Americans unsure of where they will get their next meal.
All over America there are big cats living in captivity. Some live in zoos, some are owned by private collectors and some are raised by breeders. Although it may seem exciting to have a big cat as a pet, many people buy them without realizing how expensive and time-consuming, not to mention dangerous, they really are. .png)
