The culmination of the YEK class is the annual Dreams to Dividends awards ceremony each May, where students, parents, teachers and YEK donors volunteers and staff come together to celebrate our graduates' success. Each spring, all YEK students complete a business plan and compete for up to $3,500 in venture capital, which can be used to start or grow a business or for higher education. At Dreams to Dividends, students showcase their winning businesses and are awarded scholarships and venture capital; special teachers, volunteers and alumni are also honored. Please see our calendar for each region's ceremony date and location.
