The Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!) is a groundbreaking program that transforms middle and high school students into real, confident entrepreneurs. Through the year-long program, students in grades 6-12 generate business ideas, conduct market research, write business plans, pitch to a panel of investors, and launch their very own companies.

The students of the local YEA! are hard at work developing proof of concepts for their new businesses and starting on their business plans to present at an Investor Plan event this spring.
