YIPPEE Exchange

YIPPEE – where creators, educators, and sponsors come together to empower the next generation of entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship is the most common career path in the United States. Yet schools have few resources to teach young people how to navigate the entrepreneur journey. Educators looking to help their students build entrepreneurial skills are often hampered by small budgets, time constraints, and limited access to quality resources that engage and inspire students. That’s where YIPPEE comes in. An initiative of Burton D. Morgan Foundation—a champion of entrepreneurship for more than five decades—YIPPEE mirrors the enterprising mindset it seeks to empower in K-12 students. A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND DIGITAL MARKETPLACE YIPPEE was built to connect educators to a host of free entrepreneurship education resources. Educators are empowered to explore a wide range of products in a single place and share their experiences to ensure the best products make their way to kids. Through generous funding and innovative technology, YIPPEE removes common barriers to resources and enables educators to access tools that provide students transformative learning experiences. IT’S ALL ABOUT SUCCESS. YIPPEE is a showcase for successes, large and small. Our platform has reached thousands of students, guiding them on their entrepreneurial journeys. And it has impacted each individual educator who has used it—helping them find the perfect lessons and share their experiences with like-minded teachers.
