The Youth Source .... Empowering Kids!

We're so excited!  We've developed a program that's going to be a unique experience for Rock Hill's youth!  It's taking time to pull it all together, but in 2014, you'll see our new "KidPreneur Program" up and running for 11 to 14 year olds.  

• We'll start by creating a "kid think tank" .... encouraging them to think about different types of businesses and how name them, promote them, staff them and make them grow. 
• We'll be teaching kids the basics of business, business etiquette, dressing the part, talking properly for business
• They'll participate in the actual starting of a small business for kids, run by kids (with adult supervision of course), and benefiting kids. We're not telling about our "secret business" just yet, but it will be something new and different to Rock Hill, and something kids and their families will love!
• As the children reach working age, we'll actually be able to give them part-time jobs to help with school expenses as they go forward.

We're excited about this program because it will not only provide our children with the knowledge of  how a business works, but also give them the opportunity to watch a business being built from the ground up, and hands-on experience in making that business become successful.   We want these children to grow up with the confidence and the skills to one day be able to take a leadership role in a business, whether it's their own or someone else's.

Oh .... and in the process, this business will become a cornerstone of The Youth Source .... it will allow us to create jobs for other teens in the future, and help us to become a self-sustaining organization as the business grows.  Not having to worry about where to find the money to pay our bills? ............ PRICELESS!

After School Program -- Homework Assistance & Tutoring

The Fall 2013 After School Program has started with a bang!  We love having the Winthrop University Education majors coming to work with the kids!  They help them think through questions, understand concepts, and plan ahead, instead of waiting for the last minute to begin their class projects and assignments.   To be ahead of their classmates, instead of being behind? ....... Priceless!

This is a free service available to families with elementary school children ... families who can't afford to pay for other after school programs, and whose work schedules and skills make it difficult for them to help their children.  We're making a difference for these kids, and so happy to do so!   We still have openings .... call to sign your children up today!
