Youth Education
The Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!)
The Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!) is the only one of its kind in New York City. Originally developed with support from the Kauffman Foundation at the University of Rochester in 2004, YEA!’s mission is to develop and deliver experience-based entrepreneurship programs.
High School CareerCon
Linking business owners to high school students aren’t always easy, so we help bridge those connections with the annual CareerCon. This half-day event — which features a partnership by the Chamber, the College of Staten Island, St. John’s University, Wagner College, the New York City Department of Education, and other Staten Island and city organizations — works as a prosperous two-way street for businesses and students.
