'YES Ministries' was birthed through the vision that God gave to Sister Pat Kelly as she served for many years under the ministry of 'IncarceratedYouthMinistries' (aka: 'IYM').

 Along that journey, Sister Kelly took a special interest in ministering to the young men who were incarcerated at a Don Bosco facility in the city of Detroit. She has labored for years in bringing these young men the word of God and encouraging them to turn their lives around through the gospel of Jesus Christ. Along the way she was joined by Brother Eugene Williams, Minister Kevin Harris, Brother Leon Martin, Pastor Ahmed Beasley and Brother Darren from 'Change Ministries' in this worthy cause. 

After 13 years of service to detained youth throughout metropolitan Detroit, 'Incarceratedyouthministries' ('IYM') turned over the reigns to a group of younger ministers. The replacing ministry is known as 'Retooling Incarcerated Youth'. Because of her devotion to the youth of Don Bosco it was unanimously agreed by the original founders that ministry at the Don Bosco facility would be continued under the spiritual leadership and banner of  Sister Pat Kelly. Thus, 'YES Ministries' came into existence.

Today, 'YES Ministries'  continues to grow stronger and remains committed to  excellence in service to the youth in their charge as described in the doctrines of the founding ministry, 'IYM'.
