SBA Kicks Off Young Entrepreneur Series

"For our economy to thrive in the 21st century, we must set about creating the next generation of entrepreneurs."

The White House and the U.S. Small Business Administration announced today the launch of the Young Entrepreneur Series (YES), which will connect young and aspiring entrepreneurs with SBA officials, local business advisors and resources to help them start or grow their own small business.
