In 1991, Liz and Charles Koch founded Youth Entrepreneurs, originally an eight-week course at a [[Wichita Southeast High School|Wichita high school]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youthentrepreneurs.org/about-us|title=Our Story|access-date=3 June 2019}}</ref> By 2019, the organization had grown to a presence in over 126 schools throughout the United States.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youthentrepreneurs.org/about/annual-report|title=Year in Review|access-date=3 June 2019}}</ref>
Youth Entrepreneurs Kansas was founded in 1991 by the [[Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation]] as an eight-week course at a Wichita high school, designed to improve the professional potential of [[at-risk students]], an objective which remains a central goal of the organization, although the program is open to all high school students.<ref name="About" /> Since its founding {{as of|2012}}, however, the organization has expanded to 29 schools in Kansas, and Missouri, and has graduated more than 10,000 students from the program.<ref name="About YEK">{{cite web|title=About - Youth Entrepreneurs® Kansas|url=http://www.kochfamilyfoundations.org/ProjectsYEK.asp|publisher=Koch Family Foundations|accessdate=17 January 2012}}</ref>

To work towards their goals, the organization now offers year-round high school classes in which students earn high school credits for learning and applying critical thinking skills and principles of free markets and economics that can help students excel in their careers in the business world, and in their endeavors in higher education.

Currently, the organization offers year-round high school classes about economics with an emphasis on "free market principles" and practical business skills.

The YE program has been criticized for being a platform to disseminate the Koch philosophy and to sell Charles Koch's book. Charles and his brother David Koch were longtime supporters of the Libertarian Party before becoming Republican kingpins. In 1980 and at the beginning of the [[Ronald Reagan|Reagan]] era, the Libertarian platform proposed a drastic revision of the American education system: "We advocate the complete separation of education and state. Government schools lead to the indoctrination of children and interfere with the free choice of individuals. Government ownership, operation, regulation, and subsidy of schools and colleges should be ended." <ref name="Huffington Post">{{cite news|title=Koch High: How The Koch Brothers Are Buying Their Way Into The Minds Of Public School Students|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/16/koch-brothers-education_n_5587577.html?ncid=edlinkushpmg00000033|accessdate=17 July 2014|publisher=Huffington Post|date=2014-07-16|ref=13}}</ref>

YE High School posters target predominantly poor students with the premise of receiving generous financial incentives including startup capital and scholarships after graduation. YE classes are disguised as typical high school business courses, taught in public schools by a certified teacher.

Based in Wichita, Kansas, Youth Entrepreneurs (YE) is a 501(c)(3) official non-profit educational organization.[1] They state that their goal is to provide entrepreneurship education to students in middle school and high school.

Origin

[edit]

In 1991, Liz and Charles Koch founded Youth Entrepreneurs, originally an eight-week course at a Wichita high school.[2] By 2019, the organization had grown to a presence in over 126 schools throughout the United States.[3]

Goals and operations

[edit]

Youth Entrepreneurs states that their major objective is to provide high school students, particularly at-risk students, with business and entrepreneurial education, focusing primarily on three objectives:[4]

  1. Providing students with the knowledge and skills necessary to start their own businesses
  2. Teaching students how to apply those entrepreneurial skills to become better employees, and
  3. Encouraging students to continue onto higher education

YE cites the following “Foundational Values” as the key to student success: Responsibility, Be Principled, Knowledge, Freedom, Passion, Opportunity, Sound Judgment and Win-Win Focus.”[5]

Currently, the organization offers year-round high school classes about economics with an emphasis on "free market principles" and practical business skills.

After 2010, the organization began offering YA students college credits through the organization's partnership with Butler Community College and other higher learning institutions, in the hopes of helping students to "get a head start on their college career".[6] Like the high school classes, these college-level courses are aimed at providing business training.[7]

Classes that run through the school year are supplemented by summer camps. The summer camp at Dodge City High School in Dodge City, Kansas, for example, aims to provide students with an interactive and exciting way to practice business principles, including by competing for cash prizes and receiving feedback for business ideas that students present.[8]

In 2011, YE awarded $100,000 in scholarship money to YE alumni to pursue 4-year degrees. YE also supports alumni through mentorship programs, ensuring that they have a support structure including continuing education and networking to aid them in breaking into the business world.[9]

Controversy

[edit]

The YE program has been criticized for being a platform to disseminate the Koch philosophy. Charles and his brother David Koch were longtime supporters of the Libertarian Party before becoming Republican kingpins. In 1980 and at the beginning of the Reagan era, the Libertarian platform proposed a drastic revision of the American education system: "We advocate the complete separation of education and state. Government schools lead to the indoctrination of children and interfere with the free choice of individuals. Government ownership, operation, regulation, and subsidy of schools and colleges should be ended."[10]

YE High School posters target predominantly poor students with the premise of receiving generous financial incentives including startup capital and scholarships after graduation. YE classes are disguised as typical high school business courses, taught in public schools by a certified teacher. But they are actually guided by Youth Entrepreneurs, with lesson plans and class materials promoting the Koch Industries free-market Libertarian ideology. Course information includes: The minimum wage hurts workers and slows economic growth. Low taxes and less regulation allow people to prosper. Public assistance harms the poor. Government, in short, is the enemy of liberty.[10]

Importance

[edit]

Analysts recognize entrepreneurship as an essential part of economic development,[11] and is especially necessary in areas like the Midwestern United States that have been hit hardest by recent economic recession.[12]

Education analyst Dr. Steve Wyckoff[13] said of YEK's role in the rehabilitation of the economy of the Midwest,

One of the major issues we have in rural America is the shortage of jobs and businesses. If we can find those students across rural America who have a passion that can be applied in a local business, we can grow our own jobs. We're never going to get businesses to move to rural Kansas in sufficient numbers to solve the problem. It's imperative for the survival of rural America that we begin to grow our own jobs.[14]

YEK works in partnership with the Network For Teaching Entrepreneurship, another international nonprofit organization dedicated to providing entrepreneurship programs to young people from low-income communities.[15]
