Our Programs
Every YES Looks Different
Every YES is different because every child is different. Our programs are designed to meet children and families where they are—with experiences that are flexible, deeply personal, and built around what matters most to them.
At this time, YES DAY serves children and young adults throughout Georgia, creating meaningful experiences across the state and in nearby destinations within driving distance.
What We Offer
Our YES DAY Programs
YES DAY
The Full Send
A completely customized, over-the-top experience built around one child's favorite things. The ultimate goal: 24 hours of YES in Georgia.
Examples may include
Each YES DAY Includes
- ✓Full planning and customization by the YES DAY team
- ✓Family support and logistics coordination
- ✓Personalized gifts and surprise elements
- ✓Memory-making experiences tailored specifically to the child
- ✓A dedicated YES DAY Captain to support the family and capture special moments
- ✓Participation for up to 6 guests - if your immediate household only has 3, invite your grandma and besties...if your immediate household is larger, everyone comes.
YES EVENTS
Bigger joy, shared together
Larger group experiences serving multiple children and families together — because joy multiplies when it's shared.
Examples
YES BAGS
Joy delivered to their door
Custom-delivered joy packages tailored specifically to each child — packed with their favorite things and a powerful message that someone is thinking of them.
Could include
YES MOMENTS
Smaller but meaningful
Smaller but meaningful experiences gifted to bring immediate joy. Not every YES has to be a full day — sometimes one perfect moment is exactly what a child needs.
Examples
The Process
How a YES Happens
Nomination
A child is nominated by a professional or organizational partner - not directly from family members or friends.
Connection
Our team connects with the referral partner and family to learn everything about the child - their story, their passions, and what would bring them the most joy in this moment.
Planning
We design a fully personalized experience built around that specific child, coordinating volunteers, partners, and every detail.
The YES
The child experiences their YES — a day, a moment, a bag, or a community event designed entirely for them.
Who Qualifies
Broader Than You Think
We intentionally serve children who fall outside traditional wish-granting criteria. If a child is carrying a heavy burden — whatever form that takes — they may qualify for a YES.

Children and young adults ages 5–21
Circumstances
Medical, foster care, grief, trauma, mental health, financial hardship, and more
