The Golden Bell Education Foundation hosts a chapter of the Young Entrepreneurs Academy! Program (YEA!). YEA! is a six-month program transforming middle and high school students into young entrepreneurs. Students work with business owners and community leaders to create their own businesses. The program culminates with a ‘shark tank’ style event where students pitch their businesses to a panel of investors to ask for funding.

This is a fantastic opportunity for creative and dedicated students (grades 6-12) to grow their skillset and kickstart their careers!

We are now accepting applications for the 2023-24 school year. Students can apply at yeausa.org, be sure to select ‘YEA! FL Boca Raton’ when selecting your location.

Please email Sherese James-Grow with any questions: Sjamesgrow@bocachamber.com
