Youth Employment Services Yes is a charitable organization based in Toronto, Ontario, classified by the CRA under organizations relieving poverty. It appears on the charity register the way hospitals, universities, and other publicly funded bodies do — to issue tax receipts — rather than as a donation-driven charity in the usual sense. In its fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, it reported $19.1M in revenue and $18.6M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 87% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 26 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $480K.
Compared with 427 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 75% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $300,000–349,999 range. The charity reported 108 permanent full-time positions.
