YEP (the Young Entrepreneurs Program) is a hands-on internship program for high school students that focuses on entrepreneurial thinking and development through practical experience. The prosperous working experience and exposure each student will acquire during their time with YEP makes this an internship program unlike any other.

As part of YEP, you’ll be paired with local business leaders to explore your interests and unlock your potential. You will have the opportunity to directly interact with serial entrepreneurs such as Sandy Kemper (C2FO CEO), Toby Rush (Eye Verify CEO) and Gary Fish (FishTech CEO). This internship offers a unique rotating schedule that will allow students to gain experience with multiple well-respected and unique startups. The program offers an opportunity for high engagement with leadership teams, as well as an opportunity to network with other students and midwest professionals.

You’ll receive compensation, a college scholarship, and access to the YEP KC alumni network made up of mentors, past students, and peers.

YEP goes beyond a typical internship to provide you with these unique opportunities that will lay the foundation for your future as an entrepreneur.
