Thanks to Our Volunteers
Whether these entrepreneurs and professionals served as coaches, mentors, speakers, judges, or workshop facilitators, they all volunteered their time because they believe in, and are passionate about, helping teen entrepreneurs and innovators. Y2 would not have been possible without their generosity and insights!
Thanks to Our Sponsors
These sponsors generously donated resources that made the conference possible, and they did so because they believe in the importance of helping younger entrepreneurs connect with mentors in the community.
