Common questions

Can I attend events without being a member?

No. All events are strictly member and invite-only. This is by design — it protects the quality of the room.

What if I join and it's not right for me?

You have 24 hours from joining to request a full refund, no questions asked. We want YEC to deliver real value from day one.

Will there be ongoing fees?

Membership is currently once-off. YEC may introduce a retainer in 2027 — all members will receive a minimum of 3 months' notice before any such change.

Is YEC only for South Africa?

The community is primarily South African right now, but the platform is digital and expanding internationally — with Dubai and Europe planned next.
