YES Program | Youngpreneurs Society

How do we empower our young people?

*Collectively we focus on the individual person. A human being has the spiritual and intellectual competency to function in our society. We know that spiritual competency enables you to maintain high moral standards and expectations of your conduct and the ability to emphasize, relate, love, and affirm your fellow man. We encourage this development and partner youth with individuals and organizations that grow this ability in youth.

*Intellectual competency as we know it means that our young people are equipped to make critical well thought out decisions that impact their future as well as their community.

*We train young people to create a life for themselves without the dependency of a singular organization for their livelihood.

*Our economy is fluid. Success is the ability to recognize, seize, and leverage opportunities to generate income and create transcendent wealth and give back to the community.
