Youth Information and Resources
YouthBiz is more than an after-school program. It is a place to meet other youth, develop real skills, tackle hard questions, and earn money while you learn. Each year there are over 350 youth who attend YouthBiz programs. Youth are the core of YouthBiz. Youth leaders interview and select trainees, teach classes, and develop new programs.
