15 StandUp For Kids Students Accepted to Young Entrereneurs Academy
Anaheim, CA (PRWEB) February 12, 2017 -- SUFKOC is pleased to be the first organization to give at-risk and underprivileged youth the opportunity to participate in the YEA Program. StandUp For Kids is working diligently to come up with the best ways to help our youth become self-sufficient and develop a passion for something in life.
Throughout the year students work in close cooperation with local business leaders, community leaders and educators who use their personal experiences to demonstrate how to develop business ideas and objectives, write a business plan, pitch to investors, obtain funding, register with governmental agencies, establish e-commerce and a web presence, and more.
By the end of the 19-week class, students own and operate fully-formed and functioning businesses. Classes are held at The Anaheim Independencia Center and managed by Carlia Oldfather. StandUp For Kids continuously seeks donations; as well as mentors and volunteers to donate their time and knowledge with the youth in our community. If you or anyone you know would like to be a part of impacting and changing the lives of the youth in our community, please do not hesitate to contact Carlia Oldfather.
