Resiliency Center & Homeless Youth Program
The YCS Resiliency Center is a one-stop shopping experience for the students and families of YCS. Families can schedule an appointment to shop for clothing, shoes, toiletries, and non-perishable food items.
For the 2022-23 school year, YCS has added ten laptop computers, a Kids Zone, and a space for adults to, relax, read and prepare for their next destination. If you know a student or family that attends YCS schools and they are in need of any services, please contact Cherise Allen, Ypsilanti Programs Community Liaison, at callen2@ycschools.us or 734-221-3948.
We currently have an Advisory Board, which consists of two Social Workers, 2 High School representatives, and 1 Community member. We have two volunteers and 1 Intern.
