How Does It Work? Our LEAR Methodology
Why are we #1? Our LEAR Metholodogy puts experiential learning at the center of a data-driven and evidence-based approach to youth entrepreneurship education and development. This includes Lean Startup, Remote-Work Experience, and a Pop-Up Shop providing youth and teens the opportunity to build career skills, confidence, and earn money with their own small business upon successful completion.
