On June 7th, 2025, Inspire ME proudly hosted the annual Y.E.T. Summit (Youth Empowered Today) at the Stanislaus State Stockton Campus, bringing together girls ages 12 to 17 from throughout the region for a day centered on growth, learning, and empowerment.

​

The Y.E.T. Summit was thoughtfully designed to support young women as they navigate critical areas of their development. Throughout the day, participants engaged in a variety of impactful workshops focused on mental health, financial literacy, and career exploration. These sessions aimed to provide practical knowledge, build self-confidence, and encourage future planning.

​

Beyond the workshops, attendees enjoyed an energetic and welcoming atmosphere that included music from a live DJ, team-building activities, and interactive booths. Free swag, lunch, and access to valuable community resources ensured that every participant felt seen, supported, and celebrated.

​

This year’s event was made possible through the generous support of our partners and sponsors:
Stanislaus State University, City of Stockton, Health Plan of San Joaquin, and San Joaquin County – Greatness Grows Here. Their shared commitment to youth empowerment and community investment helped bring this vision to life.

​

Participant feedback highlighted how meaningful the event was, with many girls expressing how much they learned and how inspired they felt by the conversations and connections made throughout the day. From practical skills to personal encouragement, the Y.E.T. Summit succeeded in leaving a lasting impact on every young woman who attended.

​

As Inspire ME continues its mission to empower and uplift youth, we extend our deepest thanks to our partners, volunteers, and community supporters. We look forward to continuing this work and welcoming even more young leaders at future events.
