Youth Entrepreneurship Development
Donation protected
The Youth Entrepreneurship Development Foundation was formally Action Youth Outreach (AYO). The AYO began in May 2004 with a grant from the Iddings Family Foundation. The grant allowed AYO to launch the Tiger Woods Start Something Program. Using the Tiger Woods Start Something Program as a teaching and training tool, the AYO programming quickly grew in response to the high demand for after school mentoring and entrepreneurship training for youth.
Today the Youth Entrepreneurship program helps bridge the gap between academics and real world entrepreneurial experience with a supportive environment that includes local business advisors and mentors. In collaboration with local businesses during our 48 week entrepreneurship training we motivate students to stay in school, stay out of trouble and visit local businesses and institutions, which would otherwise be impossible.
VISION: A time when more African American youth and families are empowered to start, and successful manage their own business.
MISSION: The mission is to empower African American youth and families to become entrepreneurs. This will be accomplished by youth Entrepreneurship training, motivations to dream and by exposing them to successful businesses.
GOAL: The goal is to plant the seeds of entrepreneurship in the minds of youth, encourage them .
WHAT WE BELIEVE: We believe that by teaching youth the value of education, how to manage their resources – time, talent and money – they are enabled them to develop the skills necessary to become successful participants within the economic system.
