Celebrating Diversity Through Art and Music
The YES Foundation believes that all children benefit greatly from art and music. Our goal is to fund an art education program where all children feel like they belong. We stand for equity and justice and denounce racism, intolerance and exclusion.
We are actively working to create anti-racist practices within the YES Foundation. The YES board members will participate in diversity, inclusion and equity training. We are committed to diversifying the Foundation’s board and creating an environment that is welcoming to all, especially BIPOC and LGBTQ+ community members. Through art and music, we strive to build a more inclusive future.
