Educators choose your product and pay for it with their YIPPEE points
Each product provider will have their own storefront filled with different products.
Once the educator chooses your product, YIPPEE will provide you with the educator’s contact information. You connect with the educator to arrange for delivery of your entrepreneurship education product.

Get paid for your entrepreneurial lesson
Payment occurs within the system, eliminating some paperwork for you. All you need to do is complete a short verification form letting us know about your experience. Dollars will be sent directly to your bank in a 1-to-1 ratio to the points used by the educator to purchase the product.
It's that simple.
Create AccountFOR SPONSORS
Want to develop entrepreneurial skills in today’s youth?
YIPPEE is the place where sponsors can invest their dollars to help achieve their youth entrepreneurship goals. When an educator chooses an entrepreneurship lesson, the sponsor has already agreed to pay the product provider through their support of YIPPEE!
Sponsors have on-demand access to how their funds are being used
If the entrepreneurial skillset and building 21st century skills is part of your funding mission, we’d love to connect and discuss how YIPPEE can work for you.
