As a long-standing sponsor of MVCC Young Entrepreneurs Academy, we had the opportunity to sit on the investors panel. The Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!) is a groundbreaking and exciting program that transforms local middle and high school students into real, confident entrepreneurs. Students from all local school districts are encouraged to apply, and educators are invited to nominate students they believe will excel in the program. Full and partial scholarships are available to qualifying students. This was the 11th year of YEA! at MVCC.

Our very own design team of Chrisandra and Justin had a great time helping to judge the entries. It was wonderful to see the concepts, ideas, and research of all the young entrepreneurs. Each student was awarded money that will go towards their business, as well as other perks. Congratulations to all! #WeAreCommunity
