For 17 years, young people have wandered into the YES employment agency on 19th Street looking for help. Some job seekers have sported purple hair or earrings in their noses. There have been gang members, people living in shelters, high school dropouts and high school graduates hoping to earn money for college tuition. Since the nonprofit agency opened its doors, more than 32,000 young people aged 14 to 22 have found jobs.
