on Leap Day 2/29/24!
Welcome to YES! the Delaware Youth Environmental Summit
Inspire - Inform - Engage - Empower
Inspire - Inform - Engage - Empower
YES! is a statewide confab for all Delaware high school students interested in protecting our Earth, from home schoolers, to all public, parochial and independent schools in Delaware. The inaugural YES! was held in 2020 in Dover. Planning is now underway for the fifth annual event to be held on Thursday, February 29, 2024.
YES! is a wide collaborative partnership of Delaware nonprofit organizations, educators, agencies, businesses, and students who want to make a difference by engaging Delaware's youth in issues and advocacy on environmental issues.
Are you passionate about what we're doing? Let us know! We are always looking for volunteers to help us make the student leadership team organize the summit. And, student leaders can apply each spring to be on the following year's planning team. The summit itself is open to all Delaware high school students at no cost. We're excited to have you join us!
Whether you help through monetary donations, volunteering your time, or spreading awareness of the summit, thank you. We couldn't make YES! a reality without the help of supporters like you.
