YELLS, inc.

Youth Empowerment through Learning, Leading, and Serving, Inc. (YELLS) is a 501(c)3 non-profit youth development organization based in the Franklin Gateway community of Marietta. YELLS was founded in 2008 when a Marietta High School teacher recognized the power of youth voice and the promise of the Franklin Gateway neighborhood and a community came together to create a unique, place-based nonprofit to serve youth and families. 

YELLS unites partners, parents, and residents to foster a culture of learning, leading, and serving that puts youth at a competitive edge in school, in the community, and in life. The result: youth with confidence, character and academic excellence. 

YELLS relies on the generosity of individuals and partners like you!  Your donation of any amount is an investment in our youth.  Our model creates a ripple effect as each child learns to make his or her mark on our world.  We invite you to be a part of this youth-building and world-changing work.  We hope you'll consider investing in youth who are investing in Franklin Gateway to make a healthier, stronger, and more vibrant community.
