Youth Ent Summit

Behind every young entrepreneur is someone who believed in them.

Nathan joined us for his second year as a mentor at the Youth Entrepreneur Summit, and seeing him pour his time, energy, and heart into our students has been incredibly inspiring.

As a young entrepreneur himself, Nathan knows firsthand that having the right community can make all the difference. He loves being part of the YES family because it’s a place where entrepreneurs support one another, grow together, and help the next generation build confidence, financial literacy, and communication skills.

To all of our mentors and volunteers, thank you. Your generosity creates experiences that young people will remember for the rest of their lives. ❤️

If you’ve ever thought about making an impact, we’d love to have you join our growing community.

Our fundraiser runs until Sunday July 12th, and every contribution helps us provide scholarships, bring in incredible mentors, and continue empowering the next generation of young entrepreneurs.

Together, we’re not just building businesses. We’re building leaders.

Before attending Youth Entrepreneur Summit this June, this participant was the winner of our Build a Business Challenge, a virtual program available through our collaboration with Junior Achievement Junior Achievement of Nevada . Her hard work and determination earned her a scholarship to attend the Summit, and this is what she had to say about her experience.

At Youth Entrepreneur Summit, we equip students with more than entrepreneurial skills. We help them build a foundation for life through our three core pillars:

🗣️ Confident Communication to develop the courage to share ideas, inspire others, and lead with confidence.

💰 Financial Literacy to understand money, investing, and how to build a strong financial future.

🧠 Emotional Intelligence to build resilience, strengthen relationships, and become thoughtful, impactful leaders.

This is why partnerships like yours matter and we appreciate you sharing or donating to our Non-Profit. Together with your support, we’re creating meaningful opportunities that empower young people to discover their potential and pursue their dreams. (Link in Bio)

Congratulations again on winning the Build a Business Challenge scholarship and making the most of your Y.E.S. experience. We can’t wait to see where your entrepreneurial journey takes you next.

Together, we’re investing in the next generation of entrepreneurs and leaders. 💙💚

Don’t just take our word for it.

Listen to what one of our Y.E.S. parents had to say.

At Youth Entrepreneur Summit, we work hard to create an environment where teens feel challenged, encouraged, supported, and inspired. It’s more than learning about business. It’s about building confidence, developing leadership, making lifelong friendships, and helping young people realize what’s possible for their future.

When parents tell us they see their child come home more confident, more motivated, and excited about what they learned, that’s the greatest compliment we could receive.

This isn’t our opinion.

It’s straight from a parent’s experience.

Thank you to every parent who trusts us with your teen. Your support means everything, and we’re honored to be part of their journey.

If you’ve been wondering what makes Youth Entrepreneur Summit different, we hope this gives you a glimpse. 💙💚

Someone believed in you.

Maybe it was a parent.
A teacher.
A coach.
A mentor.
Or even a stranger.

Because someone believed in you, your life changed.

Now it’s our turn to believe in the next generation.

💛 At Youth Entrepreneur Summit (Y.E.S.), we’re raising funds to help more young people develop the confidence, emotional intelligence, financial literacy, communication skills, and entrepreneurial mindset to pursue their dreams. (Link in Bio)

Our goal is ambitious:

To impact 1 million youth.

Every donation helps another student access opportunities they may not otherwise have.

But if you’re not in a position to give financially, that’s okay.

The biggest favor you can do for us is share this fundraiser.

Share it with someone who believes in young people.
Someone who believes in entrepreneurship.
Someone who believes every child deserves an opportunity.

That one share could be the reason another student gets to attend Y.E.S.

To everyone who has donated, volunteered, mentored, sponsored, or simply shared our story…

Thank you.

You’re helping create a future where more young people have the confidence to chase their dreams and build something meaningful.

Together, we’re just getting started. 🚀

1 million youth. One life at a time. 💛

Before Y.E.S. 2026 started, we asked our mentors one question:

“In one word, what does Y.E.S. mean to you?”

Now we’d love to ask our community the same question.

In one word, what does Y.E.S. mean to you?

Drop your answer below. 👇

Here’s a polished social post you can use:

Y.E.S. 2026 wrapped up with an incredible Pitch Day and a powerful reminder that the future is in good hands.

This year, more than 70 youth joined us for four transformational days focused on Emotional Intelligence, Financial Literacy, Communication, and Entrepreneurship. The summit culminated with our pitch competition, where we awarded over $8,000 in prizes and seed capital to help young entrepreneurs take the next step in their journey.

Our first-place contestant took home $2,500 and absolutely wowed both the judges and the audience with their vision, confidence, and ex*****on.

One of the highlights of the week was our Entrepreneur Expo, where students connected with professionals representing more than 25 different industries. Time and time again, entrepreneurs told us they were surprised by the quality, depth, and thoughtfulness of the questions being asked by these young leaders.

The talent, curiosity, and courage we witnessed this week give us tremendous hope for what lies ahead.

To every student, parent, volunteer, speaker, mentor, sponsor, and supporter: thank you for believing in the next generation.

The future is bright, and we can’t wait to see where these young entrepreneurs go next.

Day 3 at Y.E.S. 2026 was all about Communication.

Our young entrepreneurs stepped onto the stage, shared their ideas, and pitched their businesses as we narrowed the field down to our final 6 contestants.

One of the highlights of the day was learning how to use their voice as an instrument from our vocal instructor. His ability to engage, inspire, and create immediate transformation is truly remarkable.

Communication is one of the most valuable skills an entrepreneur can develop. Whether you’re pitching an idea, leading a team, or building relationships, your ability to communicate can open doors and create opportunities.

What an incredible day of growth, confidence, and breakthroughs. Tomorrow, our finalists take the stage one last time as they compete for seed capital and prizes in the Y.E.S. Pitch Contest.
