Project Youth Extension Service (Project YES) is a national internship program specifically designed to meet the unique needs of Reserve Component military youth impacted by deployment while simultaneously providing participating interns invaluable training, education, and experiential learning experiences designed to enhance vocational awareness and career planning. 

​Project YES combines the needs of military-connected youth impacted by deployments with college interns looking to deepen their knowledge and gain real-world experience working with youth and teens. 

​Project YES also serves as a career development program. Participating interns are paired with individually matched mentors and complete a tailored, career-broadening project designed to help define, refine, and deepen future career options. 

​​Project YES Interns represent over 113 Universities and Colleges!
Proudly served over 32,341 children and youth in 49 states, 4 US territories, and Germany.  
​
​We look forward to working with more of the tremendous military youth serving their country in their own special ways!
