The 2021 Youth Entrepreneurial Academy will be held June 14 - 18 as a hybrid academy with virtual classroom plus face to face team building and networking activities in various locations in North Iowa.

YEA is a fun opportunity to learn about starting your own business and begin creating wealth for yourself doing something you are passionate about. Learn the ins and outs of starting a business and becoming your own boss. Students will transform ideas and passions into a viable business plan. Every participant will receive a $500 NIACC scholarship and have an opportunity to compete for seed money to launch their business this summer.
