MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Our mission is to expose youth to the business world through our experiential learning model, fostering the development of business literacy and leadership skills necessary to be more successful in school and in life.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

At Youth About Business, we have over 25 years of experience in creating opportunities for high school students from all backgrounds to learn about the business world in a stimulating and interactive environment. Through our programs and business camps, many of our high school students visit the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, and learn to use one of the most respected business analytical tools in the world, the Bloomberg Terminal. Every year the top-performing YAB students visit Sony’s Corporate Headquarters on Madison Avenue in New York City where they make one of their final presentations to defend the simulated Merger & Acquisition Transaction they developed over the course of our summer business camps. While YAB is open to all students, we take care to facilitate a pipeline to success for high school students from underserved and diversity backgrounds. This helps many of our students escape the cycle of hopelessness that occurs far too often in communities across America. Once YAB students complete our programs, they become part of our alumni network, a diverse community of talent, and can transition seamlessly from student to corporate culture with a deep understanding of business and finance. Youth About Business not only introduces students to business and leadership concepts, our challenging but fun curriculum helps them develop self confidence and habits of success that they will use throughout the rest of their lives.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Youth About Business Our youth participants have the opportunity to study a business curriculum for an entire year. CES staff and established business owners teach this curriculum to our student participants. Summer Business Camp A program in which high school students are mentored by local CPA's, Attorneys, and Bankers regarding the processes involved in conducting Mergers and Acquisitions. The camp has now expanded to include a technology component that teaches students how technology affects business on a daily basis. Ownership Management Program This program is only for those youth who are 15 years of age or older. In this phase of the program, the youth participants actually have the opportunity to learn all of the mechanics of how a business operates. A youth participant will participate in this phase for 10 weeks of their summer vacations, and some part time participation takes place after school hours during the school year. We accomplish this training through the establishment of training centers. National Mentoring Program Youth participants ages 10-14 have the opportunity to spend one-two weeks of their summer on site with an established business owner. This on site training is filled with business owner interviews, lunches, as well as observing the day-to-day operations of a business
