We Are YEI!
Founded in 1974 ago in the “Kelly Building” on the corner Willis and Granite streets in Prescott, YEI! opened its doors with only 12 employees. Since then, YEI! has been providing job training, employment, volunteer placements, and support services for developmentally disabled adult residents within the Central Highlands. And, that is only the beginning! For more information about YEI contact us here >>
Our staff of 45 full and part-time exceptional people assist over 150 individuals daily at three training and employment facilities. YEI! continues to be known as a place where people with disabilities can find gainful employment and a sense of personal pride. Contact us to discuss the role YEI! could play in helping your business, ensuring a future for your challenged adult child, or remembering YEI! as part of your legacy.
We are proud to be recognized as a highly respected resource, garnering awards year after year for creating challenging work environments, as well as creating opportunities for our people to contribute to the community through volunteer services “Community Volunteer Corps.”
