For 25 years, the YES Shelter for Youth and Families has been open to youth experiencing homelessness in Peterborough.

The shelter consists of 15 youth beds, and 15 spaces for homeless families, as well as a few different locations of transitional housing.

Executive Director AimeƩ Le Lagadec speaks about the hardships their clients face, the progress the shelter sees first-hand, the staff who make it happen, and how Trent students can support this levy group.
