THE YOUTH ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROGRAM

With financial support from the Arizona Governor’s Office of Youth, Faith and Family and AmeriCorps Arizona, Hustle PHX launched the Youth Entrepreneurship Program (Y.E.P.) in the spring of 2022. The purpose of Y.E.P. is to empower justice involved opportunity youth in Arizona juvenile detention facilities.

Y.E.P. equips youth with tools that will allow them to take their business ideas from the ideation phase to the execution of starting their business. While the traditional Hustle PHX 101 curriculum is centered for adults in our programming, we modified it to be youth-digestible and interactive. The Youth program is focused primarily on financial literacy and the ABC’s of business.
