Metanoia’s Youth Entrepreneurship Center (YEC) at 2021 Reynolds Avenue trains middle and high schools students in entrepreneurship. Through student run businesses such as a screen printing business and jewelry making business, students learn valuable life skills in addition to receiving academic support and career planning.
Metanoia also offers internships for students as they grow older and we connect students to valuable job training opportunities with our various partners. Students attending the YEC also receive financial literacy and open Individual Development Accounts in partnership with Metanoia where they have an opportunity to save funds for college which will be matched by Metanoia 3 to 1 if spent on post-secondary education after high school.
