Introducing the Yes Card

Help your child "Just Say Yes" to a healthy future!

What is a Yes Card?

A “Yes Card” is a $400 electronic gift card that can be used to pay for after-school programs and other Out-of-School Time (OST) activities from a list of approved providers. It is part of Just Say Yes, a youth substance use prevention initiative at the Franklin County Health Department, which encourages youth participation in structured OST activities and positive family, school and community support for young people.

Who can get a Yes Card?

Yes Cards will be issued to a pilot group of 300 middle school students in Franklin County, including all middle schoolers at Second Street School and selected middle schoolers from Elkhorn and Bondurant. Families are notified through the school and must complete the sign-up form linked below to receive a card for their student.
