The mission of Youth Impacting Community (YIC) under the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation is to foster youth philanthropy, encouraging and supporting projects initiated by or involving children and youth within the community.
The YES! Fund (Youth Empowerment for Success) principally supports programs designed to empower youth in Manhattan, addressing issues of uninspired youth activities and feelings of neglect within the community. The fund focuses on enhancing youth development and academic achievement through comprehensive support for after-school programs. These initiatives have been instrumental in improving school attendance, goal setting, decision-making abilities, and relationships with authorities. Additionally, the fund encourages involvement from Kansas State University students, particularly those studying to become teachers, by offering opportunities to volunteer and contribute to youth programs. By transforming the innovative ideas of educators and administrators into tangible projects and compensating for the restrictions of school budgets, the YES! Fund plays a crucial role in the Manhattan community. It is managed under the aegis of the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation, indicating its commitment to local impact and community engagement.
