What Does This Have To Do With Entrepreneurship?
This web page is for students, parents, teachers, administrators, community developers, community organizations and others who desire to bring entrepreneurship education to the youth in your community.
Now
in its fourth year of operation, the Generation E Institute (GenEI) offers youth entrepreneurship education programs that are designed to crosswalk with existing core coursework currently taughtat the middle and high school levels. all of the curricula are educator tested/evaluated and focus on helping students learn and practice entrepreneurial skills through hands-on, participatory activities--all GenEI students start and operate a micro-business. We also customize our curricula to fit with the requirements of after school, neighborhood and community-based programs that want to incorporate an entrepreneurship approach when working with at-risk, low income and minority youth and young adults.
GenEI is also partnered with community economic development organizations and others representing a community-wide approach to economic development and education.
GenEI trains the youth and young adults today that will remain in the community, ensuring long-term community growth and sustainability.
“You can dream! You can do it! Each and every one of you has great ideas, creative solutions and determination to make them happen. Imagine that you have the potential to be your own boss, be an innovator, and be the producer of wealth and jobs! That is entrepreneurship.”
