NHRA Y.E.S. PROGRAM
Learning About Career Options And Goal-Setting
Presented by the U.S. Army, the NHRA’s Youth & Education Services (Y.E.S.) program is motorsports’ first and only full-time event dedicated to educational programming. The program is presented on track grounds during select NHRA events and provides high school and college-aged students with real world lessons about career options and positive goal-setting.
Students participate in a compelling and informational session led by NHRA drivers, including U.S. Army Top Fuel driver Tony Schumacher, other NHRA Representatives, and U.S. Army Soldiers. Participants can also visit the U.S. Army’s Strength in Action Zone, an experience that explores the elements that give U.S. Army Soldiers a strength like no other with a variety of fully-interactive fitness, educational, and other technical components.
In 2012, the NHRA's Y.E.S. program will celebrate its 23rd year of empowering young people with information about career choices and reaching their goals. With the help of the U.S. Army, the program continues to reach over 25,000 students a year nationwide.
