Dear Friends:

Welcome and thank you for visiting BCS YES! on the world wide web! As you ‘tour’ the site, we hope that you will sense our dedication to provide quality compassionate care to youth.

For the young people in our residential program, BCS YES! is a bridge over troubled water. Our programs provide the necessary intervention to keep them from falling further through the cracks.

We help them to complete high school and encourage them, through the Y.E.S. Scholarship Program, to pursue college or technical training. We provide new clothes and shoes and a safe comfortable residence where they can feel at home. We provide nutritious meals prepared fresh at each location, as well as supervised recreational activities. We ensure that each of our residents has access to medical and dental care and psychological counseling when needed.

BCS YES! was founded in 1879 as the Baptist Orphanage of Philadelphia. With the sum of $5,000, deemed an indispensable amount with which to start a year’s work, the Orphanage received its Charter and began a legacy of care to children and youth.

Won’t you help us to raise an indispensable amount to continue our legacy of care? Our success with at-risk youth is made possible through tax-deductible contributions that support our mission to empower at-risk youth to succeed.

Your gift will make a tremendous difference even in this tough economy, so please write your charitable gift check today – or better – make your contribution securely and more immediately here online. Click on the ‘make a gift’ tab on the left-hand side of this message.

The food, shelter and clothing that BCS YES! provides to troubled teens depends on it!


Blessings and Peace



Kenneth D. Campbell, President
