Our Championship Network

Education, and other aspirational fields, dedicated to transforming the lives of under-resourced youth.
• Our network collaborates to amplify YES’s mission of providing enriching opportunities for under-resourced youth.
• Our champions connect and guide our youth through potential programs focusing on sponsorship, mentorship, expertise, and support.
• Our network’s impact is multi-faceted, supporting youth directly or indirectly by leveraging personal connections and resources.
