Smart Ventures creates and adapts businesses and structured
work experience programs designed to meet the needs of multiple customers
(youth, entrepreneurs,
employers, agencies) and special populations (foster care, juvenile justice,
gender and age specific, entry-level employees, neighborhood youth and
adults). We believe entrepreneurship, work and learning can be integrated
into highly
motivating and mentor-rich activities to teach life skills, work skills
and academic skills. We have a portfolio of successful entrepreneurial
projects
that can be adapted to achieve desired results. We work closely with
organizations whose missions include serving at-risk youth and young
adults.
