HOW WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Strategic Corporate Partnerships
YMI partners with companies that champion opportunities for young women, creating hands-on, skills-based workshops that make career prep exciting. Working alongside Corporate Social Responsibility teams, we design fun, impactful experiences that connect students with industry pros, real-world insights, and the tools to thrive.
Community Collaboration
YMI joins forces with local youth organizations to share resources and expand access to career and life skills. By connecting with social services, schools, shelters, sports programs, churches, and more, we’ve built a powerful network that helps young women gain the skills, confidence, and connections they need to thrive.
It’s more than a program—it’s a movement.
Breaking Barriers, Building Futures for Young Women
YMI is on a mission to level the playing field for young women in underserved communities across Northern New Jersey, giving them the tools, confidence, and connections to succeed in higher education and high-earning careers. By tackling underrepresentation in competitive fields, we empower them to break cycles, shatter ceilings, and own their futures.
Through college partnerships, corporate mentorship, and hands-on career experiences, we ensure that every young woman—no matter her background—has the access, support, and opportunities to thrive. The future is hers.
“My teacher told my class about Yes, M.I.S.S. Inc. but I was the only person who joined. I will be the first in my family to go to college and I need as much help as possible. I like going on college tours and meeting new people. This program is helping me to choose a career that I really want.”
“I joined Yes, M.I.S.S. because my mom thought it would be really good for me. I see myself going to college and getting a job and building a life for myself. I think Yes, M.I.S.S. will help me with trying to navigate my future college and help me with life skills and other things that's important for life after high school.”
