Events & Workshop Topics
We are teaching young people leadership qualities and public speaking skills. Each member will be able to connect with our guest speakers, we will provide them with opportunities to show their leadership through internships. Each member will have a role at the workshops, and there will be leadership positions open for the project as a whole. We will have leadership committees and board members that will be available to apply for in order for students to show their leadership capabilities and public speaking skills. There are many opportunities for you to join our officer and board of directors because we believe young people can change our community.

Why you should join
The Youth Executive Leadership Program (YELP) is a non profit organization whose program centers around the Houston area, where students learn about leadership skills which include public speaking, various aspects of leading a team or an organization, etc.. Workshops (as part of the organization and partnership organizations) will be available throughout the year and this includes inviting business panels, public speaking workshops, and leadership camps, empowering the young generation to become strong visionaries, speakers and leaders at the end.
This program is available to kids between the ages of 11-18. Houston is such a large dynamic city, however, there aren't many programs focused on building leadership and public speaking skills in this age group and we want to change that! The objective of the organization is to empower the next generation of young leaders with all the necessary skills to enter the real world.

yelp x the small world x Milaan foundation
Project empower is an initiative that taps into the minds of girls in India and Nepal to develop their entrepreneurial spirit and realize their potential. We at Youth Executive Leadership Program believe in the importance of understanding and accepting different perspectives, especially in our society today, and we hope this project brings this to light.
YELP is partnering with The Small World and The Milaan Foundation to create a 6 part audio & video curriculum that features interviews, discussions, and stories of successful female entrepreneurs who have built their businesses from scratch. We hope to empower girls and inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs in India and Nepal. We strive to ensure that all youth, no matter their background, have equal access to career and personal development skills, such as leadership training. Through this project we hope to inspire the next generation leaders to achieve greatness in their futures and create this cross-cultural communication amongst the youth in order to grow students' minds.

​
My idea for a small business is creating handcrafted accessories that showcase our rich cultural heritage. From intricately designed jewelry to vibrant textiles, my aim is to promote local craftsmanship while empowering women in rural communities. Through my entrepreneurship journey, I envision a brighter future where traditional artistry thrives. I want to grow up to become a fashion designer and I believe this small businesses is the first step in pursuing my passion. Some questions I have for female entrepreneurs in the United States are:
​
-
What inspired you to start your own business, and how did you identify your passion?
-
How did you overcome any initial challenges or doubts when starting your entrepreneurial journey?

(Short responses may also be written in the native language of students)
