The Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship program is an academic achievement program where the Benson Institute not only push youth to go to school to get a job but to also go to school to create a job. We will partner with middle and high schools. The goal of the program is to have youth to use their creative talents to create a product or service that can improve life, change society, or add to an already existing need. Youth will learn about developing a company, raising capital for a company, leading and operating a business, and personal presentation. There will be business competitions and executive shallowing program to cultivate and direct youth down the entrepreneurship path.
