In partnership with the White House, SBA is hosting YES forums in five cities throughout November, each with a specific theme and focus. With youth unemployment twice the national average in many communities, SBA recognizes a need to promote and better support the efforts of young people looking to create jobs. YES is part of a larger effort to reach out to young entrepreneurs and let them know the SBA is here to help them start, grow and succeed as small business owners.
