About
the Young Entrepreneurs Academy
The Young Entrepreneurs Academy, or YEA!Ô, is a groundbreaking
educational program that takes students in grades six through twelve through
the process of starting and running real businesses over the course of a full
academic year. Students work in close cooperation with local leaders of
industry, community members, and educators to develop ideas and
objectives, write business plans, pitch potential investors, obtain funding,
register with governmental agencies, develop their brand identity and much
more! By the end of the class, students own and operate fully functioning
businesses that can be carried on after graduation. Students learn to
make a job--not just take a job! YEA!’sÔ direct mission is to
help students embrace their passion, energy, creativity and talents, launch a
venture, and view entrepreneurship as synonymous with success and freedom. In
2008, YEA!Ô “spun-off” from the University of Rochester, where it was formed in
2004 with support from the Kauffman Foundation, to create its own
not-for-profit corporation, YEA! Inc., which is currently launching sites in
colleges, universities and high schools across the country to provide
comprehensive, exciting entrepreneurship education, leadership development and
innovation training to youth between the ages of 11 and 18 years old in the
United States thereby making the program available to students at a variety of
geographical regions, and providing them with skills they need to succeed in
the 21st Century. For more information about the Young Entrepreneurs
Academy, please call 215-628-3875 or visit www.yeaphiladelphia.org
