Youngstown Business Incubator (YBI) stands as a beacon of innovation and entrepreneurship under the leadership of Megan Payich, the Director of Youth Entrepreneurship. With a commitment to fostering diverse ideas, technologies, and leaders, YBI aims to create opportunities that shape the future.
In a recent engagement, Mrs. Cooper's fifth-grade classroom had the privilege of embarking on a virtual field trip to Washington D.C., facilitated by YBI. Throughout the day, students were immersed in educational destinations pertinent to their curriculum, including explorations of The Bill of Rights, the legislative process, and the intricate workings of the White House.
The experience was not only educational but also deeply impactful, providing students with firsthand encounters of key institutions and civic responsibilities. Witnessing these elements up close ignited a sense of civic duty and leadership among the young minds.
YBI's vision extends beyond mere education, aiming to leverage entrepreneurship, technology, and global resources to enrich communities. Committed to continual improvement and growth, YBI focuses on enhancing its financial position while developing premier programs for entrepreneurship, technology commercialization, and adoption.
Furthermore, YBI champions inclusion and community engagement through initiatives like the virtual field trip, underscoring its dedication to empowering future generations. As YBI continues to pave the way for innovation and progress, its impact on youth education and entrepreneurial development remains profound and far-reaching.
