Overview

Young Enterprising Society (“YES”) started in 2012 as the brainchild of Que & Khalif El-Amin as they saw a need for a social outlet in Milwaukee for young professionals. Using Khalif’s vast network, YES was able to host parties in the trendiest of Wisconsin’s Social Clubs that traditionally did not welcome people of color. With every party, YES hosted a “Haircuts for Kids” event, giving free haircuts throughout the United States. Concurrently, YES saw it’s brand grow through the use of social media culminating into selling over 2,000 pieces of apparel in their first year of business. In its first 5 years of operation YES has continued to use its resources for a myriad of community events and services including Pamper my Princess Program, YES Tours, a Small Business Expo and numerous social events. YES is also proud to be a part of many successful startups including Building New Pathways, Mobile Merchant Connect and Osha’s Market. Current initiatives include Community Revitalization, Project Management and our Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math Program.
