students
Welcome!
You have found the ultimate site for teen entrepreneurs. Young Entrepreneurs of America is dedicated to helping you start your own business, meet other entrepreneurially minded students, or ace your next marketing exam. So, whether you need help coming up with a business idea or are just here to ask a question, THIS IS THE PLACE!
Content in the student section can be broken down into four main categories: Get Involved, Get Help, Start and Promote Your Own Business, or just poke around the site and Have Fun. While this page isn't the main landing page for the entire website, it is the main landing page for students so chances are, if you're a student, you'll want to bookmark this page.
This page is the only page that lists all of the student links on the YEA website. As you move through the site you will also notice that the links to the right change on every page so if you know what you are looking for, there is usually a shortcut provided for it just to the right. You can come back to this page by clicking on any of the "students" links found above the main graphic or by using the "students" link in the breadcrumbs just below and to the right of the main graphic.
Most of the information you are looking for can be found in the following links, but if for some reason, you are not able to find what you're looking for here, please send us an e-mail telling us what you're looking for and we will gladly provide you with the necessary information and then add the new information to the website for the next user.
