Welcome to YES! The Delaware Youth Environmental Summit

Inspire - Inform - Engage - Empower

The Youth Environmental Summit

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 third annual February 2022 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!
