Our Founders

Three retired women, Julia Mosley OAM, the late Patricia (Trish) Wade and the late Susan Hamilton were moved by the many young people they saw desperately seeking help at schools in their communities. They recognized a need to support young people who were falling out of the education system because they didn’t have the necessary financial & emotional support. These women wanted to use their combined skills to raise funds and support as many young people as possible.

In December 2009, they established the YES OP Shop on Mahoneys Road in Forest Hill, Victoria. The shop has served to engage public support and has attracted many like-minded volunteers who have helped to grow YES, Inc. into what it is today. The YES Inc Foundation was officially registered in May 2009. It operates with the help of many dedicated volunteers including students and a number of volunteers who have retired from highly successful professions. As the world has evolved so has YES Inc. The youth of today face different challenges than that of 2009, YES Inc. have moved with this changing environment to better understand the mental wellbeing challenges of youth today. We have made it our priority to offer a list of services that can help with their individual needs
