Match Magic | November 10 through December 1, 2026
Your generosity helps young people find their voices, build confidence and discover their ability to lead.
From November 10 through December 1, give to YELLS through Cobb Community Foundation’s Match Magic campaign to help your support go further. In addition to your gift, YELLS can earn a proportional share of CCF’s $180,000+ match pool. The more we raise, the larger our share!
YELLS empowers youth to rise as active, healthy, and productive servant-leaders within their communities.
Our innovative programs combine mentorship, leadership development, academic achievement, community involvement, and service learning.
Mentoring Program
By matching high-school "Bigs" with elementary-school "Littles," the YELLS Mentoring Program fosters an ethos of service and helps students develop as servant-leaders.
Afterschool Program
The YELLS Afterschool Program provides academic enrichment, leadership and character development, art, recreation, and community service opportunities to elementary-age students.
Community Action Café
At once a gathering space for the community and a teen program promoting leadership, financial literacy, and career development, the Café program enlivens the Franklin Gateway community.
