YESfest

YESfest (Youth Eco Summit Festival) is a Community Interest Company dedicated to empowering the next generation of environmental leaders. We bridge the gap between young people and the natural world by hosting vibrant, "festival-vibe" summits that turn climate anxiety into positive, community-led action.

What We Do

We focus on children aged 8–10 (Years 4 and 5), providing them with a unique blend of:

• Immersive Festivals: In-person and hybrid events that combine nature connection with practical, hands-on sustainability workshops.
• Global Networking: Connecting local classrooms with youth activists and experts worldwide—from the Eden Project to the United Nations.
• YESquests: A structured framework of eco-challenges that help children build the knowledge, skills, and confidence to become "stewards of their part of the planet."

Why It Matters

With the climate emergency and a growing disconnect from nature impacting youth mental health, our goal is to foster hope through agency. We provide the tools for young people to lead their own impact stories, creating a ripple effect of regenerative practice in schools and local communities.
