Join Us for our Annual Education & Business Luncheon

Each year, Your Future Is Our Business hosts the Annual Education & Business Luncheon to celebrate and highlight the impact of our programs, the dedication of our partners, and the achievements of the students we serve across Santa Cruz County.

This inspiring event features a full recap of the college and career exploration opportunities we’ve provided throughout the school year. It’s also a time to recognize outstanding student work—three scholarships will be awarded, with one exciting project judged live during the luncheon!

The luncheon brings together over 200 community members, including local businesses, organizations, students, and educators. It’s a valuable opportunity to network, connect with potential partners, and learn more about the career readiness programs YFIOB offers.

We’re proud to continue building pathways for student success and grateful for the incredible support from our sponsors and community. Come see the impact—and be part of it.
