Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!):
The Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!) program is an exciting program that transforms local middle and high school students into entrepreneurs. Throughout the program, students in grades 6-12 work in close partnership with local leaders of industries, community members, and educators to generate business ideas, conduct market research, write business plans, and launch their very own businesses! In the final event, students pitch their businesses to a panel of investors and ask for funds to support their business venture in this 'Shark Tank' style event.
