The YBNP is a new project to the City of Santa Ana Workforce Investment Act2012-2013 (WIA), it consists of both for profit and nonprofit business owners also known as the Business Network (BN) Providers, who have chosen to collaborate and create a business network that will educate youth in retail, marketing, sales, graphic designing, sound technician and motivational speaking.

The program capacity is 15 and it has the ability to increase should funding be available and more business owners commit to participating in the project.

YBNP targets are the ‘at risk’ youth who are in and out of school and are between the ages of 16 and 21 years old.  The program is a ‘work-based learning experience’ which is ‘hands on’ training for eligible youth participants in a classroom setting on a variety of topics i.e. Leadership, Entrepreneurship. It will also offer motivational classes that will inspire and motivate youth.

Each youth participant will work directly with a case manager to identify goals and to design a case plan that will map out each participants path way to success individually.
