YEA! participants will engage in 30 weeks of college course work, be mentored by successful entrepreneurs, and create a business plan for a real business. The program culminates with students presenting their proposal to a panel of Angel Investors looking for the best business to utilize their investment. Eight ambitious students from the Pre-Academy of Finance applied and interviewed for a seat in the YEA! program. To the excitement of the interviewer, Academy teachers, and Duncan administrators, all 8 students were accepted into the program (seven of whom accepted a seat in the program). Over the next 8 months, Adam Brower, Abdullah Ali, Natalee Castillo, Morgan DiCocco, Ryan Holzhausen, Robert Calvert, and Natalie Schlueter will be immersed in the world of entrepreneurship and business.
“Most excitingly, each student will leave the YEA! program with their own operational business and a whole new understanding of how the business world works,” said Kate Wynn with Watson B. Duncan Middle School. “Congratulations to the Pre-Academy of Finance’s YEA! participants.”
