Dear Friends:

Thank you for visiting Baptist Children’s Services (doing business as BCS YES!) on the World Wide Web!

Undoubtedly, you are here searching for information on our mission to empower at-risk youth to succeed. Or perhaps you are seeking information on ways that you or your organization can become involved and make a difference in the lives of the young people in our group homes or emergency shelters.

Whether you are here browsing our history, looking for career or volunteer opportunities, or to make an online contribution, you are warmly welcome.

Without your good will and dedication, our mission and service to adolescents and teens would be severely diminished. We offer our thanks for each and every contribution, no matter its size.

We thank the many individuals, churches, foundations, charitable trusts and united community funds who keep contributions coming for specific projects and for general operating support.

We thank those who volunteer, turning out to help our youth and with the maintenance and upkeep of our facilities. Our volunteers serve as mentors and teachers of life skills and role models. They turn out at weekend work days to spruce up our homes and shelters with painting, yard work, or fix-up tasks.

The mission of BCS YES! has been constant since 1879: to provide quality care, educational support, guidance, love and positive role-modeling to at-risk youth.

It is on their behalf that we extend our gratitude and ask for your continued prayers and financial support.

Blessings and peace,

Kenneth D. Campbell, President
