What do we mean by “youth”?
1. Elementary to post-secondary (K-16) age young people that we can engage in civic leadership roles, entrepreneurship and career opportunities in their community.
1. Young adults (19-35 years) that we can encourage to live and work in our communities (potentially with families of their own!).

Learning From History:
Not that long ago, 9 in 10 Americans were
self-employed.
They knew how to create and sustain entrepreneurial
communities.

Why Target Youth “E” Talent?Youth currently in your community may well
represent your greatest resource for economic growth and community
sustainability. The challenge is to: engage these youth, equip them with the skills and knowledge
to be successful, and then support them and their
enterprising ventures.
