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
