About the Young Entrepreneurs Academy
The Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!) is an exciting program that transforms local middle and high school students into entrepreneurs. Through the nine-month long curriculum, students in grades 6-12 work in close partnership with local leaders of industries, community members, and educators to develop life skills, generate business ideas, conduct market research, write business plans, and launch their very own companies. The program culminates with a shark tank style event as students pitch their ideas to a panel of investors and ask for funds to support their business venture. This is an amazing opportunity for any students looking to grow their skillset and knowledge.
