The Youth Employment Summit (YES!) is a series of free, one-day events created for youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are ready to explore exciting paths for their future.
YES! provides sponsors with a unique opportunity to demonstrate your commitment to inclusion and diversity—and to participate in building inclusive opportunities for youth in B.C.
Your brand will be presented to an active and engaged audience of over 1,000 attendees and exhibitors across the province. We hope you will join us in a partnership to help you achieve your goals and to work together as we build a world where everyone belongs.
