The Young Entrepreneurs Showcase (YES)  is a one day marketplace, held every year, where young entrepreneurs ages 8-15 (grades 3-10) bring their products and services to market. The date for the YES 2026 is TBA, but set for the end of January 2026!

In previous years, we have required entrepreneurs to pay a fee in order to participate in YES. This year, thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, entrepreneurs do not have to pay a fee to participate. 

All entrepreneurs should bring anything they need to effectively conduct a transaction and interact with customers (i.e. products, fliers, business cards, change, credit card reader).

We can’t see where we are headed if our eyes are closed. The same is true with your business. In order to know where you are going, you need a plan. Upon registering for the event, please navigate to the ‘Resources’ tab and utilize the Business Plan PDF and videos as needed in order to complete the packet. Please complete it and return to us (via email at info@producedwithpurpose.org) within 4 weeks of registering. Your business plan will be displayed at your booth.

Kid bosses are free to accept payments in any form they wish. They can accept cash (make sure to have change for your customers). The venue also provides WiFi for those that would like to take credit card, Venmo, CashApp, Zelle, Square, or any other form of online payment.

All vendors should arrive by 8:30am in order to register and set up their booth. If you know that your booth set-up requires more time, please arrive earlier. The event will begin at 11am until 4pm.

We recognize that future business leaders may develop the spark for innovation and team building early in life. Please contact us with your specific situation if this is you.

While we want to provide this amazing opportunity to all young entrepreneurs, space is limited at our venue. Registration will only remain open subject to space availability. MAKE SURE YOU REGISTER ON TIME.
