Great support for aspiring entrepreneurs

Schoolyard Ventures and the Social Innovators Program helped me to find my path during my gap year. I had always known that I was interested in entrepreneurship and I had worked on a few projects during high school, but I didn't know where to start. Schoolyard Ventures gave me a framework to identify and solve problems and the individualized attention from their staff of experienced entrepreneurs helped me to launch my own nonprofit, Y Innovations. Over the course of the program, I was able to raise over $50,000 dollars, hire subcontractors, and build Delaware's first ever net zero energy, straw bale home.
