WHO WE ARE U.S. Hispanic Youth Entrepreneur Education (USHYEE) was founded in 2004 in order to address the high drop out rates among Hispanic youth and to introduce high school youth to entrepreneurship as a career option. Hispanics tend to be entrepreneurial and are the largest, youngest and fastest growing minority in the United States. Our goal is to use concepts taught in entrepreneurship to bridge the high school to college continuum in the minds of Hispanic youth. In late 2004, USHYEE and the Hispanic College Fund (HCF) partnered in order to bring an HCF program to Maryland. The program, the Hispanic Youth Symposium (HYS), was launched in Maryland at the University of Maryland Baltimore County in July of 2005. Since the success of that initial program, USHYEE has developed an Entrepreneur Track for the HYS and is partnering with the Hispanic College fund to teach the Entrepreneur Track across the United States as the HYS expands to other parts of the country.
