The NHRA's Youth and Education Services (YES) Program is motorsports' first and only full-time program devoted exclusively to educational programming. The YES Program visits various raceways across the nation to inform the youth what it takes to make it in the auto performance racing industry.

The YES program was created in 1989 as a tool to connect education and drag racing.

The YES Program, presented by the U.S. Army, is an innovative, track-site program, taking place at select NHRA national events, allowing tens of thousands of students from schools across the country to participate annually.

Students from middle schools, high schools and colleges are invited to attend this free field trip and job shadowing activity. The program takes place at the track, usually in the corporate hospitality area.

The 30-minute program consists of speakers inspiring and informing the students about the various opportunities awaiting them if they take the necessary steps to properly prepare themselves for the challenges.
