The YEA! Chicago program is about building the skills and confidence for girls to thrive in business and life. The Young Entrepreneurs Academy has developed a program that teaches students how to select, research, vet, develop, and market a business. From idea generation to pitching their businesses for startup investment funds, this six-month course is truly transformative.
As the only all-girls YEA! program in the world, this powerful program is also about how to do business, focusing on the principles and values that go into doing business well -- communication, business etiquette, accountability, integrity, courage, and perseverance among others. Because as we know, becoming an entrepreneur isn't for the faint of heart!
Our six-month after-school program begins in October and ends in March. Classes are held in downtown Chicago on weekday evenings once a week except for holidays and winter break.
