Young Entrepreneurs Academy of Baton Rouge (YEA BR, www.yeabr.org) transforms area high school students into confident entrepreneurs. Over the 30-week program and under the instruction of the LSU E. J. Ourso College of Business, select students generate business ideas, write business plans, pitch to an investor panel, and actually launch their very own companies. YEA BR combines a proven curriculum with the experiences of Baton Rouge business leaders, educators, community members, and entrepreneurs.
