Overview

Mission

Youth Educational Services The Company provides admin services to Day care centers for reimbursable meals for children placed in their care through

What it reported doing in 2025

Youth Educational Services, Inc. administrates the CACFP (Child and Adult Care Food Program) which reimburses Child CAre Centers and Adult Day Care Centers for the money that these centers pay for food. These reimbursable meals are provided to children under the age of 18 and adults who are functionally impaired or 60 years of age or older in a day care setting. This program ensures that children and adults throughout Georgia have access to nutritious meals while they are in a daycare setting by offsetting much of the food cost of the facility while educating the center staff about daily nutritional guidelines. Youth Educational Services, Inc. provides these funds to centers under their sponsorship on a monthly basis via a grant administered by Bright from the Start. Y.E.S. Inc. also provides tutorial aid and mentorship programs to area youths after school and through the summer months for children under the age of 18.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and expenses are high relative to revenue.
