The Entrepreneur
Project
Youth Strategies started its first
entrepreneurial project this
summer, the Community Bike
Shop. The CBS project is also
known as a Social Enterprise. It
will serve as a program for job
training and job readiness for
at-risk youth. The Entrepreneur
Project will function much like a
small business laboratory
providing a real world learning
experience for career readiness. It
will work closely with our Business
Champions to prepare marketable
and competitive youth for the work
force.
If you or your business would like
to partner with us to prepare the
future's work force please contact
us.
Youth Strategies is a faith based 501c3 organization that is committed to
empowering the potential in young people. We provide strategies, resources, opportunities,
and environments for young people and organizations working with young people to reach
their potential. We work cooperatively in collaborations with businesses, non-profits, schools,
churches, and governmental agencies to address at-risk barriers to personal growth.
Youth Strategies provides job training, job placement, and employment opportunities for high
risk youth. We utilize mentors, training workshops, and character based content to address the
needs and issues these young people face.
