Nashville, Tennessee, USA– October 3, 2024 October 3, 2024:
Youth Encouragement Services (YES) has partnered with the Motorola Solutions Foundation and volunteers from the Motorola Solutions Galvin Masters sales organization to renovate two of its Nashville-based youth centers.
The upgrades, completed on October 2, included new paint, furniture, and landscaping at the Carpenter’s Square center and the installation of a sensory board at the Lindsley Center. These improvements will enhance the overall experience for the children who attend YES programs.
“Every child deserves a safe and supportive environment to thrive,” said Viva Price, executive director of YES. “We are grateful for the support of the Motorola Solutions Foundation and their volunteers, who helped us create more welcoming and engaging spaces for our young people.”
YES serves nearly 150 children daily, providing them with reading, mentorship, and athletics programs. The renovated centers will support YES’ mission to bridge the learning gap for kids while offering them safe places to go and have fun.
“Youth Encouragement Services is making a positive impact on the lives of Nashville’s youth,” said Karem Pérez, executive director of the Motorola Solutions Foundation. “We are proud to support organizations like YES that provide essential services and opportunities for children in need.”
The Galvin Masters, a group of Motorola Solutions employees dedicated to community engagement and volunteerism, have been participating in the annual day of service for 50 years. Their contributions to the YES youth centers demonstrate their commitment to making a difference in the community.
The Carpenter’s Square Center is located at 3016 Nolensville Pike, and the Lindsley Center is located at 11 Lindsley Avenue.
