Summer of Social Entrepreneurship

This summer, YouthBiz is shaking up programs to offer youth exposure to social entrepreneurship through relevant and engaging mediums. Through learning fun stuff like video production, music production, mural making, and eco-cultivation, youth will be inspired to solve the social problems they face everyday. We are so excited to be partnering with these fantastic organizations to help youth learn how to change their world!

Ashoka Youth Venture's Dream It. Do It.
'Dream It. Do It' teaches youth how to create a project or business that solves a problem in their community. They will then get support to launch their project – their youth "venture” -- in real life!

The Flobots.org's Music and Making a Difference
We will give youth a chance to learn from our partners at Flobots.org - the organization started by Denver’s rock/rap/hip-hop sensations, The Flobots. The workshop will journey through the history and cultural relevance of music, the creative process, and what it takes to write and record their own song.

Creative Film Making
Youth will learn about the process of creating a video/movie from local expert filmmakers. They will journey through the process of identifying a story, writing a script, shooting footage, and editing. The class culminates with the youth producing a video.

Eco-Cultivator Training: The Green Movement & You
Youth will explore the inter-connectedness of the green movement to everyday life, including Green Boot Camp, Waste Stream Diversion, Urban Agriculture/Real Food & Energy Efficiency.
