Youth Eco Solutions (YES!)
Tom McDougall's Company Details
YES! is a unique youth program that develops youth leaders while inspiring widespread adoption of renewable energy technologies, waste, and energy conservation best practices, local foods, habitat restorations, and water quality and conservation improvement projects. In addition, students are gaining leadership and workforce skills such as problem solving, communication, teamwork, innovation, and project management. In 2007, Prairie Woods Environmental Learning Center (PWELC) partnered with Southwest Initiative Foundation (SWIF) to develop and implement Youth Energy Summit (YES!) as a program in response to emerging issues and opportunities around renewable energy, climate change, energy efficiency, and conservation. Today, as Youth Eco Solutions, YES! seeks to be part of the solution to today's ecological challenges through hands-on action projects.
