|
Posted By: Natasha Cross on November 12, 2007 EYE (Engaging Youth Entrepreneurs) for Change is an organization dedicated to making sure youth ages 13-25 have the opportunity to develop an entrepreneurial attitude, high financail IQ, and leadership skills. We offer three main services: EYE for Change Conference: an annual youth entrepreneurship conference that encourages youth and those working with youth to engage in entrepreneurial skill building, financial literacy, and leadership skills. April 3, 2008 EGTS Tour: a traveling tour that features an interactive address by an authentic entrepreneur, entrepreneurship competition, lunch and access to resources for students to get their businesses started. EYE Societies: creating a network of youth entrepreneurs who pursue entrepreneurship as a career option, employ entrepreneurial concepts to remain competitive in the workforce, and utilize entrepreneurship as a vehicle for change in their respective communities. EYE for Change also has a radio and TV show entitled EYERadio and EYETV. EYERadio brings together youth entrepreneurs to talk about what’s hot in youth entrepreneurship and business that’s shaping the world. In addition, EYERadio focuses on innovative business ideas, entrepreneurship as a new career option and using youth businesses to help shape and mold communities. EYETV is hosted by motivational speaker Quinn Conyers of Speak2Society, LLC. The show features an interactive exchange between the host, youth and seasoned entrepreneurs. These entrepreneurs showcase their products, share and discuss their challenges, and inspire their peers to be dynamic business leaders. The show will uncover the youth's opinions on entrepreneurship and how to turn an idea into a profitable business.
