Summer is flying by, and in just a few short months YEA! will be starting up again! The Young Entrepreneurs Academy, (YEA!) is an exciting program that empowers young people to take control of their futures, transforming students into CEOs of their very own business!
YEA! teaches students between the ages of 11-18 to turn their passions, skills, and talents into a real business with hands-on experimental learning taught by business leaders throughout the community. Over the course of this 25-week program, students will create a business plan, pitch their business to an investor panel, and launch their own fully functional business that can be carried on after graduation!
The Chamber still has several sponsorship levels available for businesses that may be interested in supporting this important program.
The levels include:
Presenting Sponsor $5,000 (limit 2)
Premier Sponsor $2,500 (limit 4)
Scholarship Sponsor $1,500 (limit 6)
Investor Sponsor $1,000 (limit 12)
