The Young Entrepreneur Series (YES) is an educational program providing real life entrepreneurship education to young girls age 14 to 18. YES was developed in 2004 by the Michigan Association for Female Entrepreneurs.
YES seeks to prepare young girls to be responsible, enterprising individuals who contribute to the economic development of the community. The goal of YES is to gain and improve economic possibilities for young girls and to educate young people in Detroit on how to build businesses that create employment and contribute towards economic improvement.
YES will be conducting a Leadership Camp July 13-15, 2012. The program is designed to inspire high school girls to become self-confident, courageous, and compassionate leaders in their communities. The Leadership Camp will be held in Howell, Michigan at the Howell Conference and Nature Center. The fee to participate is $175 and includes transportation, room and board, meals, all activities and much more. Applications are accepted through June 15, 2012. Space is limited.
This program is one of many programs aimed at helping young girls growing up in Detroit find a positive outlet and create a successful future. Teaching our young girls to become independent and self-sufficient is important. Visit www.youngentrepreneursseries.com for more information.
YES is also looking for mentors in the Metro Detroit area to volunteer and serve as positive role models to young girls throughout the Detroit metropolitan area. Volunteers must be caring, able to listen, and compassionate. Volunteers are required to be at least 25 years old, possess a driver's license, pass background check, attend orientation or training, and be willing to volunteer at least 4 to 8 hours per month.
