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 February 28, 2020 in Dover. Planning is now underway for the February 2021 Covid-respectful event.
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 our vision a reality. We'll help you find a way to volunteer that best suits you. We're excited to have you join the team!
Whether you help through monetary donations, volunteering your time, or spreading our mission through word-of-mouth, thank you. We couldn't make YES! a reality without the help of supporters like you.

Dear Prospective Partners:
On behalf of Youth from across the First State, we are thrilled to announce YES! - the 2021 Youth Environmental Summit - an online conference to be held on February 21 - 25, planned by engaged students representing district, charter and independent high schools from across the state.
A major goal of the Summit is to educate and inspire Youth to encourage their leadership on environmental issues in the near future and the coming years, in Delaware and beyond. Action plans will be developed for students to bring about a growing network of certified green schools across the state, to save energy, reduce waste, and improve our health.
The Summit will include time for reflection, team building, a keynote speaker, panel discussions, meetings and workshops with state legislators, art installations, advocacy training, and lots of dialog!
Key organizers include representatives from Zero Waste First State, Odyssey Charter School, Green Buildings United, TeenSharp, Delaware Interfaith Power & Light, the Charter School of Wilmington, the Brandywine School District, and student leaders representing schools from across the state.
We invite you to participate in the 2021 Youth Summit by becoming a partnering sponsor. Sponsors will be recognized with logo placement on advance materials, in media promotions, social media and web site placements, reusable bags, event t-shirts, and in signage throughout the day of the event.
Sponsorship supports coverage of other costs associated with the event, including technology needs, program printing, web site, signage, reusable bags and water bottles, participant t-shirts, and speaker fees.
For more information, please feel free to contact us. Thank you in advance for your support of this important inaugural state-wide event. See you in February!
