The YEA! program is about building the skills and confidence for youth to thrive in business and life. The Young Entrepreneurs Academy has developed a program that teaches students how to select, research, vet, develop, and market a business. From idea generation to pitching their businesses for startup investment funds, this course is truly transformative.
Program is just that. A weekly program created and developed by the youth based on there needs. The youth name this weekly “program” because it was structure in lives of young people who had no guidance or direction and were provided with just the opposite. Each week the youth explore team building skills, mind teasers, health and education workshops while learning life skills.
You Lead, Youth Leadership is a unique workshop-style design that enables Youth participants to develop their speaking and leadership skills through practical experience. Through the youth leadership program, young people gain the skills and knowledge to lead civic engagement, education reform, and community organizing activities. As youth development program grows, the focus shifted from keeping kids from engaging in delinquent behaviors to developing youth’s skills and helping them grow into successful adults. The conceptual shift reinforces the idea that "youth problems are the principal barrier to youth development to thinking that youth development serves as the most effective strategy for the prevention of youth problems” (Youth Development).
