"I joined this program because I really wanted to separate myself from my peer group. You need to work really hard to find success here but I think this is a great program for those looking to set themselves apart from others."
Elijah LeMar
University of Massachusetts - Amherst
"It’s a lot of learning and a lot of fun as well. It’s a life-changing experience that I wouldn’t trade for the world. It definitely has changed my life and made me grow a lot both personally and professionally."
"The mentorship that I got in this program, has changed me as a person. I’ve found confidence that I never knew I had. The network throughout YEAA is very unique and collaborative and something I never had prior to this opportunity."
"I was inspired to join YEAA because I wanted to take the path that is less taken. I wanted a challenge and a mentor to help me run my own business. YEAA has provided me with a more refined mindset, I'm now comfortable being uncomfortable!"
Ben Colledge
Western New England University
"You get to be surrounded by 30 to 40 other likeminded individuals that are striving to push themselves to be better. You get to learn from others and mentors, while actually running your own business and making profit off of it!"
