20 Years of NECINA Youth Entrepreneurship Service (YES)

Inspiring the Next Generation of Innovators Since 2006

For two decades, NECINA Youth Entrepreneurship Service (YES) has been at the heart of NECINA’s mission to empower the next generation of leaders, innovators, and changemakers.

Founded in 2006, YES was created to provide hands-on entrepreneurship education for high school and college students in the Greater Boston and New England region. What began as a small mentorship initiative has evolved into a flagship NECINA program — a vibrant ecosystem that bridges young minds with real-world innovation and professional guidance.
