Trouble Querying Posts for Checkbox

I have a single checkbox with a checked value of ‘Yes’ and am trying to query posts that have that checkbox checked.

This is the code I’m using:

$args = array(
                'numberposts' => 3,
                'post_type' => 'resource',
                'meta_key' => 'is_a_featured_resource',
                'meta_value' => 'Yes'
);

$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

However, I get no posts returned. I have verified that the posts are checked. Where did I go wrong?

Hi devprose

Try

'meta_value' => true

I think the checkbox saves the values as true / false
