7th Annual Youth Empowerment Summit coming September 2024 - more info coming soon!
YES! is a nationally award winning program with a mission to empower and encourage youth to say “YES!” to leadership roles and civic engagement in their local communities.
In 2023, we celebrated 6 years of youth saying YES to civic engagement! On Friday, September 29th 2023, the 6th annual Youth Empowerment Summit was held at the UC Davis ARC Ballroom. For the first time, the Summit was held on a Friday, during school hours. Due to this change and our partnership with Yolo County school districts, we had 100 youth participants from all across Yolo County.
YES! seeks to educate youth about local government, the election process, and the importance of voting and civic engagement. Thanks to the support of our community, businesses, corporate sponsors, and private donations, participants will have the chance to win thousands of dollars in prizes, such as gift cards, gift baskets, gift certificates, swag, and more!
The 7th Annual Youth Empowerment Summit is right around the corner, once again being held in September 2024. Interested students will have the opportunity to register for the event later this year through their school. Please check back soon for more details! Remember to share this information among your friends and peers!
YES! is a collaboration between the following Yolo County organizations:
