& that's a wrap on YES 2021 -- the 5th year of our esteemed Young Executive Scholars Program! Congratulations to Shekinah Hoffman & Itzel Alanis (the program organizers) & to all of the students who successfully completed their first college course.

IGI is so fortunate to have such a strong relationship with the Las Vegas Raiders. This year 2 players - Nate Hobbs ( #39) & Isaiah Johnson ( #31) - spoke to our YES students about overcoming hardships to achieve personal goals. We love to see it 👏
