Young Investor’s Society is proud to announce its new initiative Market Mondays, where our students give a snapshot of the stock market for the previous week every Monday.
Young Investors Society has kicked off the New Year with our Annual Global Community Service Event!
Battling a global pandemic has only highlighted the harsh realities of food insecurity and increased the number of people dealing daily with its challenges.
34.5 percent of households with a child age 18 and under are food insecure, an increase of about 130%.
The YIS Stock the Shelves Food Drive (December 1st-February 28th) will provide much-needed canned and non-perishable foods to local food banks and food pantries across the world.
YIS students who participate in the Stock the Shelves Food Drive & YIS Sponsorship Fundraiser will be eligible to receive the YIS Community Champions recognition, certificate, and prizes!
