YES debuts updated look and new campaign to celebrate 25 th anniversary

MONTREAL, QC (October 7 th , 2020) – YES, a non-profit organization that provides
free and low-cost English-language resources, tools and strategies to improve
employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for Quebecers, is celebrating its 25 th
anniversary with an updated look and a fresh new campaign.

As a dynamic, innovative organization, the scope of YES’ services and the range of
their support has expanded since YES . first opened its doors in 1995. What started as
an organization serving young job seekers in Montreal now includes entrepreneurship
and artist services for all ages, across Quebec.

As part of their 25 th anniversary celebrations, YES has updated their brand with a new
look and name that better reflects what they’ve grown to be and all they have to offer.
Effective today, YES Montreal/Youth Employment Services will be known as YES
Employment + Entrepreneurship.

The updated branding will be rolling out gradually. Here’s a sneak peek:

But the celebration doesn’t end there! After their annual fundraising gala had to be
cancelled due to the pandemic, the organization quickly pivoted to an online fundraising
event – the Virtual Experiences Fundraiser. The campaign invites the community to help
YES celebrate 25 years of community service in Quebec by treating themselves to a
gift! YES has partnered with local businesses to offer lockdown-friendly online classes,
with all proceeds going to YES. With a range of great experiences to choose from, from
fitness and wellness classes, cooking and bartending workshops, professional
development options, and more, there’s something for everyone.
