Mental health awareness - Volunteer work - Event fundraising
Mental Health
Mental health awareness is essential because it reminds us that mental well-being is just as important as physical health. Many people silently struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, or other mental health challenges, often feeling ashamed or afraid to ask for help. By openly talking about mental health, we reduce stigma, encourage understanding, and create supportive environments. When mental health is prioritized, communities become stronger, healthier, and more connected.
Volunteer work
The main motivation behind creating YATE is to positively impact communities. Volunteer work and community service are a crucial component to accomplishing this task. By giving their time and skills, volunteers help address local needs, support organizations, and improve the lives of others. Volunteering also benefits individuals by building empathy, developing new skills, and fostering a sense of purpose and fulfillment. When people come together to serve, they promote compassion, teamwork, and shared responsibility, making communities more resilient and better equipped to face challenges.
Event fundraising
Events and fundraising can positively impact a community by bringing people together around a shared purpose and creating a sense of connection and belonging. Community events encourage collaboration, raise awareness about important causes, and provide opportunities for people to learn from one another. Fundraising efforts generate essential resources that support local programs, services, and individuals in need, helping to address challenges such as health, education, and social support. Together, events and fundraising strengthen relationships, inspire civic pride, and empower communities to create meaningful and lasting change.

How it began
YATE was created in 2026 with the hope to spread positivity and contribute substantially to communities in need. YATE is an acronym that stands for You’re Allowed to Exist which is meant to inspire resiliency for whomever may need it, and shine a light on mental health. There is a lot of pressure in day to day life and this movement is about finding meaning through helping other people and communities as a whole.
