Entrepreneurship is the most common career path in the United States. Yet schools have few resources to teach young people how to navigate the entrepreneur journey. Educators looking to help their students build entrepreneurial skills are often hampered by small budgets, time constraints, and limited access to quality resources that engage and inspire students.
That’s where YIPPEE comes in. An initiative of Burton D. Morgan Foundation—a champion of entrepreneurship for more than five decades—YIPPEE mirrors the enterprising mindset it seeks to empower in K-12 students.
Launched in 2022, this unique platform offers a balanced value proposition to all who participate:
Providers of innovative educational materials and experiences can bring resources to market easily and affordably, giving you direct access to your target audience.
Educators can secure unique and creative curricular resources to develop the skills your students will need in today’s fast-paced, rapidly evolving business landscape.
Sponsors can target priorities and support learning opportunities consistent with your values and interests.
It takes a village to raise an entrepreneur.
YIPPEE is dedicated to skill-building and educator choice. It is cost-effective and impactful. When providers, educators, and sponsors work together, the real beneficiaries are the students—who unlock the knowledge, capabilities, and opportunities to forge their own paths.
A first-of-its-kind digital marketplace.
YIPPEE was built to connect educators to a host of free entrepreneurship education resources.
Educators are empowered to explore a wide range of products in a single place and share their experiences to ensure the best products make their way to kids.
Through generous funding and innovative technology, YIPPEE removes common barriers to resources and enables educators to access tools that provide students transformative learning experiences.
HOW DOES YIPPEE WORK?
Providers create quality resources and market them directly to audiences through YIPPEE.
Educators earn points by signing up, referring a colleague, offering reviews of products, uploading supplemental contents, and more. They use those points to “purchase” provider content to use with their students.
Sponsors who understand the value of quality entrepreneurship education fund YIPPEE, paying providers to deliver resources to educators.
When all three things happen, the students win!
It’s All About Success.
YIPPEE is a showcase for successes, large and small.
Our platform has reached thousands of students, guiding them on their entrepreneurial journeys.
And it has impacted each individual educator who has used it—helping them find the perfect lessons and share their experiences with like-minded teachers.
YIPPEE helps students develop the skills and mindsets to succeed in life.
"I Can" statements define specific skills and mindsets students will develop. Each resource tagged with a skill should help students confidently say, "I can [do this]," showing they’ve mastered that skill.
