Our financial model

Community-supported. Mission-focused.

Youth Advancement Sontek Society (YASS) is a community-focused nonprofit society supporting residents through community services, youth development, practical assistance and referral coordination.

Our activities are funded through monthly contributions from registered community households, referral-related payments from non-government service providers, employment referral commissions from participating companies, and donations. We use these resources for community programs and day-to-day organizational operations.
