The Story of YASBIZ: Empowering Passion, Inspiring Community
​
Street Smart Ventures created YASBIZ (Young Adult Services in Business) as part of its mission to empower individuals through passion-driven work and meaningful community connections. Developed in collaboration with DMHAS-funded organizations, YASBIZ is a program designed to help young adults explore their personal interests, develop entrepreneurial skills, and launch small ventures that make a positive impact.
Through hands-on workshops, one-on-one coaching, and real-world projects, YASBIZ participants gain the tools and confidence to turn their ideas into action. Whether starting a business, organizing community events, or pursuing creative endeavors, they learn to transform their passions into fulfilling careers and meaningful contributions to their communities.
YASBIZ is just one example of how Street Smart Ventures leverages its expertise to design programs that inspire growth and connection. By working with organizations to create customized initiatives, Street Smart Ventures helps foster entrepreneurial spirit and community engagement, ensuring that the values of creativity, purpose, and empowerment reach far beyond YASBIZ itself.
