Young Entrepreneurs Participant Quotes

YEP Mentee:

"This program helped me start my own business, Milagro's Variety Store, where I sell jewelry, tonic, candy, chips, wallets, holiday ornaments and other items. The store has provided me with the opportunity to have fun while doing something that will change my future. The kids around the neighborhood seem to like what I do and it is great to show them that there are possibilities for a better future."

YEP Mentor:

"Working with Andrew over the last year has been a fantastic experience--not only has it been rewarding, it has been a lot of fun. From going to the movies together, to having dim sum for brunch, to phone calls talking about life, to working on a job application together, to seeing him graduate, I can't think of a better way to spend my time."
