About Us
What Makes Us Different From Others?
YOUTH EDUCATION ACADEMY delivers strategic and excellent programs through the use of technology to young people ages 14-25 from underprivileged communities. With our innovative virtual campus, instructors who partner with us have access to a wealth of valuable data that is used in helping students achieve their fullest potential. Our digital platform enhances the quality of education students receive while at the same time making it possible for youth to create, own and operate their own business. Y.E.A implements creative enterprising programs and projects that include career exploration and mentoring initiatives for participants. Through these programs we also provide unique pathways in leadership building, mentoring, hands-on farming experiences, justice oriented instruction and much more.
Community Involvement
Our program initiatives provide students with the opportunity to make a measurable difference in their community. Interaction with peers, adults and elected officials who have an interest in the future of its community helps students gain a clearer understanding of environmental needs and the judicial system. Community engagement and partnerships provide the platforms in which the voices of our young people thrive.
Our Core Values
We uphold our core values to successfully help transform and positively impact the next generation and the world they live in.
COMMUNITY COMMITMENT
We believe in building lasting relationships with youth, their parents/guardians, and other community members while committing to doing whatever is needed to help them blossom and thrive.
RESILIENCY
We believe in the strength and ability of the underprivileged communities we serve to rise above, adjust and recover from any and all adversity that comes as a result of lack of resources and opportunities.
YOUTH EMPOWERMENT
We believe the youth are the key to a brighter future in our world and provide them the safe spaces, support, platforms and resources needed to ensure their voices are heard while fostering self- confidence, responsibility, and leadership.
