Our Story

About Us

It all started with a seed.

Once upon a time, in a vibrant community nestled between rolling hills and lush fields, a group of young visionaries gathered with a common dream—to empower youth through agriculture. This dream gave birth to Champion Youth Entrepreneurs for Agriculture (CYEA), a platform where gardening became the gateway to wisdom and business knowledge for all children.

Empowering Tomorrow's Leaders: The Impact of Entrepreneurship Education

Attention parents and young aspiring entrepreneurs! Are you looking for a dynamic youth program? CYEA offers a variety of engaging positions, from Jr. Chef to Civil Engineer, where your child can learn, grow, and have fun!

While not every child may become an entrepreneur, we believe that entrepreneurship activities are essential for equipping young minds with the critical hard and soft skills needed for success in the 21st century.

From perseverance to financial literacy, these universal lessons empower students to tackle life’s challenges with confidence. Our vision is to cultivate these skills in as many youth gardeners as possible, preparing them to thrive in any path they choose.
