This nonprofit works tremendously in order to help educate the next generation of enterprenours. They dedicate so much in order to create a fun and creative learning experience. I would definitely recommend it to my friends and family members because it's definitely worth it checking it out.
This is an amazing program for teens to learn how to start their own business.
In this program the teens learn about leadership, about entrepreneur and start to think in how to help others.
Providing underprivileged youth various skills such as leadership and entrepreneurship is truly "teaching a man to fish" mentality. We need more of this.
Aspiring Youth Academy is an incredible organization and love the work they are doing for the youth of Arizona. Keep up the great work!
When I originally got involved with AYA, it was volunteering at camp 6 years ago alongside ASU professors delivering the entrepreneurial curriculum. Watching the kids do their own “Shark Tank” competition and learn areas of entrepreneurship was a lot of fun. The kids wanted to learn more and seeing repeat kids come back shows they’ve enjoyed the learning.
I can not say enough good about Aspiring Youth Academy. I have had the pleasure of attending and volunteering at their entrepreneur camp for the last 2 years. I got to see kids show up to camp nervous and shy and leave camp with the confidence to pitch their business idea to 30+ adults. The applicable real world experience and entrepreneurship coaching they receive is top notch. Getting to watch the kids break into teams, come up with a business idea, create a business plan, and pitch to their peers and adults was extremely gratifying and solidified my belief in the mission of AYA. I have no doubt that AYA will give the disadvantaged youth that attend the camp the education they need to break out of the cycle of poverty and better their lives, communities, and those around them.
Aspiring Youth Academy's mission is to end the cycle of poverty for Arizona families by cultivating the entrepreneurial spirit in Arizona youth. We believe that by equipping students with the skills to start and manage a business, they can create an amazing future for themselves and their communities. Seeing the impact of AYA's programs on our students has been absolutely incredible!
