"My name is Mikaela Gavaletz, Executive Director and Producer of Youth Empowerment & Support-Schuylkill, or Y.E.S. for short!

Our core goal is to assist you in your quest towards personal discovery, offering resources and support for individuals in need of gender assignment information, crisis services, and social connection to other members of the community.

In the coming months we will also be rolling out a number of community outreach programs, partnerships with local support groups, and polls to gauge your interest in further educational programs.

Be sure to keep up with all of the new and exciting things coming your way, and don’t miss the most current updates on Schuylkill County PrideFest 2025!"
