What we do is give youth that are 'go-getters' some freedom to work when they please, earn not just minimum wage, but an income directly related to the amount of work and effort they are willing to put in. Young people dream of becoming entrepreneurs, despite America's lingering recession
A survey was conducted online within the United States by Harris Interactiveยฎ on behalf of the Kauffman Foundation in August 2010, among 5,077 youth ages eight to twenty-four. The results show that business ownership continues to capture the imaginations of America's youth, particularly for those who know a successful entrepreneur personally.

When we say that our young (even at 14yr olds) have earned thousands of dollars in a year, built personable skills that made them better students, and that they leave our office with smiles on their faces...

We are rolling out a series of videos that capture our young people in action. This is the first of three (maybe four or five) students we will highlight and hopefully it will give a glimpse into the work they do.
This is one of our youngsters that earned a few good dollars last year; just coming in a couple days a week and for a few hours. He was eager to learn, earn and to even help others in the program when needed ๐
This year we are expanding this opportunity across Kansas and into KCMO to financially empower worthy motivated young people there as well. We know young people with that 'hustle' and 'go-getter' attitude are out there; and we want to bring opportunity to their neighborhood and the local small business community ๐ป ๐ฐ
Thank you , GO Topeka and all the small businesses that have supported us over the years. By providing this unique opportunity to upskill our local community we can expand opportunities & resources to spark tech careers in our youth and throughout the community ๐ฅฐ

The difference between the IBSA, Inc. Streets University program and traditional youth entrepreneurial opportunities is that young people here are shown a legitimate way to make money by learning specific tech skills; paired with an opportunity to get paid through fee-for-services, and commission & residual income ๐ป โป๏ธ ๐

Coding and robotics are clearly associated with STEM & STEAM programs, whereas doesn't focus on either.
We don't teach coding, instead we introduce young people to technology in ways that helps them to speed up their understanding of using the Internet, and how it is used ๐ค
We offer an opportunity to learn tech skills they can use to earn a few dollars immediately through IBSA ( , , , & Gemini)
This is paired with related opportunities to develop personable qualities to interact in confidence with community business owners, government officials and nonprofit leaders &
Combined with other traditional STEM, STEAM & Coding programs as an alternative option isn't a bad thing. In fact, providing young people a variety of opportunities is what a good youth enrichment ecosystem is all about.
With the future of technology advancing at a rapid pace, communities need a well-rounded approach to start preparing its next generation. And to delay is to accept the perils of having an unprepared group of high schoolers that graduate, young adults with few life skills, and those that just so happen to fall between the cracks... and into poverty ๐
The future for local small businesses actually looks promising; if unique ways to blend them with more community support can be created?
To date we have hundreds of small businesses listings in our online directory on an annual basis; with each paying directly into the learning & earning capacity of youth choosing to participate in our income opportunity program.
This is about bettering ones handwriting, increasing math & reading skills, and focusing for more than an hour without looking at their cellphone over & over again ๐

So thank you to the businesses for your ongoing support... To the young people doing the work... And to the parents & adults bringing them in to assist our organization...!

Progress doesn't happen by accident.
It requires an idea, a plan of action and those willing to put that idea into ACTION...
Success is built off of methods and long-term success is based off of models that deliver results ๐ฏ
Creating an income opportunity for youth isn't impossible. Garnering support from the community isn't impossible. And putting ones best effort on the table isn't impossible either ๐
