skysthelimit.org is the digital platform of Youth Business USA, a 501(c)3 nonprofit based in Oakland, CA (#EIN 27-4333255). In 2014, we debuted our first non-profit program targeted towards young adult entrepreneurs and volunteers located in the San Francisco Bay Area. By 2015, we attracted the attention of global organizations and engaged in a partnership with Accenture to launch skysthelimit.org.
The problem that we are trying to solve
skysthelimit.org launched in response to the youth underemployment crisis in the US, where this decade has seen the highest youth unemployment rate since World War II. The crisis and structural inequities in our socio-economic system have resulted in a lack of economic opportunity for millions of young adults. skysthelimit.org is empowering young adults to achieve employment, be financially independent, and accomplish their business goals.
Our focus
The skysthelimit.org community has a special focus on serving young entrepreneurs ages 18 to 29 who face significant barriers to business ownership. We work with entrepreneurs that are building all kinds of businesses β from clothing lines to catering companies, food trucks to consulting companies, hair stylists to mechanics. Whether or not theyβve gone to college, whether or not they have to work other jobs on the side β all of our entrepreneurs are chasing their dreams.
How we support
We believe that the key to empowering our aspiring entrepreneurs is to provide them with the right support, from the right people, at the right time in their entrepreneurial journey. We provide free resources to support our entrepreneurs in the development of their businesses and to support our volunteers as they work with our entrepreneurs. Weβve created resources such as the Pathway to Business Ownership or How to Start a Clothing Line guide to be used as a framework for building successful businesses.
