SOME FAST FACTS
A key survey by the Gallup Poll*
indicates that many students,
have a strong interest in
entrepreneurship:
- 69% of high school students
said that they wanted to start
their own business
- 85% of students said they had
been taught “practically nothing
about” or “very little about”
business and how it works and
only 27% of students reported
that they had taken a class in
business or entrepreneurship
- 73% of the students said that
independence was their primary
motivation for wanting to start a
business (and not monetary
benefits).
- 68% of the students said that it
was very important for
successful entrepreneurs or
business owners to give
something, in addition to
providing employment, back to
the community
- When asked to answer
questions demonstrating basic
entrepreneurial knowledge, high
school students on average
were only able to answer 44% of
the questions correctly

We're here for you!
We know it gets harder and sometimes more confusing to try and figure out
what choices you need to make on a day to day basis. Without judging you,
talking down to you, or limiting your input, NSYEP works with you, listens to
you and gives you honest, truthful answers that equip you with the tools you
need to make smart and meaningful decisions. All we ask is that you meet us
half way. In addition, we introduce you to new concepts, new products, and
new ways of thinking to help you expand your vision and scope.
Our various training programs will teach you how to develop your mission
statement, define your purpose and/or passion in life, and understand the
power of perception. After that, we teach you how to assess what resources
you have available to you "within your own backyard" to give you laser-like
focus on how to achieve your life goals.
Won't you join us? You can volunteer at one of our events at Atwood
Community Gardens to see if NSYEP is right for you. Simply visit our
