Adopt-A-Teen

Adopt-A-Teen is a holiday giving program that ensures Edmonton teens aged 13–17 receive a gift to brighten their season. Since 1999, thousands of teens have felt the joy of being remembered during the holidays thanks to this community-driven program.

This year marks a new and exciting chapter: Adopt-A-Teen has officially joined the Youth Empowerment and Support Services (YESS) family. Together with the Christmas Bureau of Edmonton, who founded and grew the program into a beloved tradition, we’re ensuring that Edmonton’s teens continue to feel supported, celebrated, and cared for.
