“For the past seven years, the Youth Business Alliance has equipped our students with financial literacy and work readiness skills. From providing guest speakers from a wide range of industries as well as supporting with resume workshops, mock interviews, and Shark Tank, the Youth Business Alliance has been a truly invaluable resource.”
Mr. Julio Munguia, Animo Compton High School
"The Youth Business Alliance has been amazing for our students. It really opens their eyes to all the endless career opportunities out there and helps them see that those careers are actually within reach. What I love most is how the panelists come in with such a great attitude, making the sessions inspiring and relatable. On top of that, the field trips are so personal and intentional, making learning fun and engaging for our students. It’s incredible to see them gain confidence, learn valuable skills, and start to believe in their potential. This program has truly made a big difference in our school community."
Diana Montenegro, JK Livin’ Foundation at Animo South LA and Animo Inglewood
“In only one semester, the Youth Business Alliance has already had such an impact on our students. Having listened to several guest speakers, students have learned about the importance of building a positive digital footprint, creating a LinkedIn account, and setting goals to help prepare themselves for a more prosperous future. I am very excited to see the partnership grow between our foundations and have our students experience all YBA offers.”
