A few kind words about our program.

"Nestlé Waters North America is pleased to join Youth About Business as a sponsor. We believe YAB’s mission ties nicely to Nestlé’s Project Opportunity, a global career acceleration initiative to help people of all ages gain work experience and strengthen their professional development skills, and with a pledge to reach 300,000 people with “readiness for work” activities annually." Charles BrollYAB Mentor

"Since 2012 I have seen Youth About Business leverage its unique curriculum to show students how to persevere despite uncertainty and learn how to trust themselves and their teammates." Lance BellYAB Mentor

"Youth About Business is a truly unique program. In the YAB program, students' hard work gives them the confidence to succeed at the highest levels – in business and beyond – and plants the seeds for tools that will enable these students to be the next generation of leaders. I am proud to have served YAB for over a decade as a volunteer, mentor and advisor." Joseph CastelluccioYAB Mentor
