NHRA YES Program

The NHRA Youth & Education Services (YES) Program was founded in 1989. It is the only full-time education program in motorsports that provides quality programs and activities for schools and youth organizations nationwide. Not only is the YES Program FREE, it focuses on the importance of goals and continued education while allowing students to learn about and explore various career opportunities. The program will show students how S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) is applied to both, real-world situations and NHRA Drag Racing, which they will have the opportunity to see live at the track!

 

How can Driven By Diversity help?

As awesome as the NHRA Y.E.S program is, we understand that many schools may not have the resources to take advantage of all it has to offer. Driven By Diversity helps eligible schools and educational programs with needed services that are not included in NHRA Y.E.S, like transportation, lunches, and even earplugs. This ensures that no matter the social or economic station of the students participating, they all get to enjoy the same experience. For more information on how Driven By Diversity can help CONTACT US TODAY!
