Youth Venture Champions are an integral part of the success and consistency of the Youth Venture program. Champions are our eyes and ears in our schools, and they typically represent the entrepreneurial and innovative spirit that we seek out in our Venturers. Their task is to act as a Youth Venture representative through publicity and recruitment activities, providing the Youth Venture opportunity to youth in their schools.
The champion model is currently being used through United Way Youth Venture partnerships.
More specifically with United Way of Greater Nashua and United Way of North Central Massachusetts.
