Community Development Through Youth Entrepreneurship
Our mission is Community Development Through Youth Entrepreneurship.
We believe young people can help make their communities stronger while learning the skills they need to succeed. Our program is built on the idea of “Earning While Learning.” Students learn about business and then use what they learn in real-world business and community activities.
We bring together schools, families, businesses, teachers, and community groups to create better learning opportunities for young people. Together, we help students learn, practice, and use their skills.
Our program gives young people more ways to learn outside the regular school day. After-school hours, weekends, and summer are important times for students to learn and grow.
Through entrepreneurship, students learn about:
• Business
• Leadership
• Communication
• Money management
• Problem-solving
• Teamwork
• Community development
Students are also given opportunities to earn money as they learn and use their new skills.
How Students Complete the Program
A student successfully completes the program by reaching two important goals:
1. Earn at least $500 as an entrepreneur. This shows that the student can use what they have learned to earn money through a real business activity.
2. Become a certified Youth Business Specialist. This shows that the student has learned the knowledge and skills needed to take part in and support business activities.
Changing the Learning Experience
Our goal is to transform lives.
We want to make education better for students, parents, teachers, and youth workers.
Learning should not stop when the school day ends. Young people need more chances to:
• Explore their interests
• Learn useful skills
• Discover what they can do
• Build confidence
• Work with others
• Connect school lessons to real life
Our program creates these extra learning opportunities.
We also want to help schools and communities find better ways to measure student success. We look at more than grades. We also look at skills, participation, leadership, business activity, and personal growth.
Helping Every Student Succeed
We are committed to helping all students succeed.
We pay special attention to young people who may be struggling in school or who have not yet found success in their personal, social, or economic lives.
Youth entrepreneurship gives students a path to:
Learn → Apply → Earn → Achieve → Lead
As students follow this path, they can become stronger leaders and active contributors to their families and communities.
Our Vision
Our vision is simple:
Learn. Earn. Lead. Build Stronger Communities.
