YES LEGACY ALUMNI
YOU PROVED IT WAS POSSIBLE. HELP THE NEXT GENERATION REACH FURTHER.
The Y.E.S. — Youth Entertainment Summer — legacy lives in everything Yes2Jobs does. Now we need you back in the room.
For nearly two decades from 1987 to 2006, Y.E.S. — Youth Entertainment Summer — opened doors for more than 2,500 young people across Los Angeles, launching careers and building a community of leaders across media, entertainment, technology, and beyond.
You were part of that. And that foundation — the relationships, the vision, the proof that young people from underserved communities belong in these industries — is the soul of Yes2Jobs.
We have never forgotten where we came from. We need you to help us build where we are going.
WHERE ARE YOU NOW?
We are rebuilding our legacy alumni network with intention — and we want to know who you are, where you are, and what you have built. Your story is not just inspiring.
It is exactly what today's Yes2Jobs students need to hear.
HOW YOU CAN GIVE BACK
How you contribute
Your participation and your investment are both essential to the Yes2Jobs mission.
Show up as a speaker, panelist, or speed interviewer. Mentor a current student. Open doors through internships or project challenges. Your presence in the Yes2Jobs ecosystem makes every student who comes after you more likely to succeed.
And if you can give — even the cost of a cup of coffee a week directly broadens our reach and deepens our impact on youth communities across Los Angeles.
Your time. Your story.
Your investment.
All of it moves the needle.
