More About YEScarolina
“A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way.”                                      ~Mark Twain
Mark Twain provides a perfect metaphor for how we and our students learn best. Though a violent cat scratch is not advised, it illustrates a point.  A student absorbs information most effectively when they are actively involved in the learning.  In fact, a student actively involved in experiential entrepreneurial education is creating a way to shape their own future.   YEScarolina curriculum, training, competitions and camps provide teachers and youth workers effective ways to facilitate those experiences that build hope for future prosperity based on what a student loves. 
Youth Entrepreneurship South Carolina, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is the leading organization in South Carolina dedicated to teaching youth the principles of entrepreneurship and free enterprise. Recognizing that South Carolina’s future is dependent upon a vibrant entrepreneurial economy, YEScarolina is preparing today’s youth to be tomorrow’s business owners and business leaders.
YEScarolina has helped thousands of young people from communities statewide build business skills and fuel their entrepreneurial spirit. To date, YEScarolina has trained and certified over 1,000 South Carolina teachers on the subject of entrepreneurship. These educators, in turn, have touched and inspired tens of thousands of young South Carolinians with a thirst for entrepreneurship.

Popular culture in much of the Western world has characterized food science, to some degree, as an object of suspicion. Myths abound popularized by social media. Misunderstanding of the true and wide-ranging nature of food-related sciences obscures the vital role they play in the production of food. Product development often includes laboratory testing for shelf stability, nutritional content, resistance to pathogen growth, and other properties. The field of food science is vast, and employment opportunities are diverse. We will explore some popular myths and the role food science plays in the products we consume.

What skills will the graduating senior need after they graduate? The business department can teach check writing, balancing a check book. The automotive department, how to change a tire. The health science department, basic first aid. The culinary department, how to read a recipe and make it. The English department, how to write a resume. The history department, voter registration and laws they need to know. The commitment would be no more than a week at a time. The student would rotate through all areas at their own pace.
