1:00 pm: YES: Learn, Connect, and Start Pitching! Startup Camp for Blind and Low Vision Youth1:00 pm: YES: Learn, Connect, and Start Pitching! Startup Camp for Blind and Low Vision Youth – Youth Employment Series (YES) March 1-3, 2019 Learn, Connect, and Start Pitching! --NOTE: Location has changed to LightHouse Headquarters due to rain (1155 Market St. San Francisco) Startup Camp for Blind and Low Vision Youth In March, the LightHouse Youth Employment Series (YES) is excited to host Startup Camp where teams of blind/low vision students will be challenged to grow professionally and in friendly competition surrounded by the fun and exploratory spirit at Enchanted Hills Camp (EHC)! (Note, LightHouse will be offering transportation from the Ed Roberts Campus to EHC). From Portland to Paris, the startup weekend model has provided an unparalleled level of opportunity for entrepreneurs of all ages. Since the program’s inception, the startup creed has forged connections between like-minded innovators and renowned business leaders, and fostered the formation of robust businesses. As high school students who have organized startup experiences globally, a similar accessible startup event will be held in Napa Valley, CA, in March 2019 to bring the startup energy and opportunity to blind and low vision youth! What makes this startup model remarkable is its relative simplicity. The program organizes participants’ time so as to put the emphasis on student creativity. After students gain exposure to the creative process on Friday night, they design and pitch their original business ideas to their peers. These proposals drive their weekend’s work. Once students join forces with peers interested in their proposed projects, they are assisted in their development of a range of business skills, such as marketing and prototyping, by industry professionals. The student-led teams chart their own path through the process, as they build toward a pitch to professionals on the final day. This is an empowering weekend to not only hone your skills, but to also network and build lasting relationships with blind and low vision peers, local business mentors, as well as have the opportunity to sustain your ideas with enriching prizes. YES workshops are monthly weekend-long learning experiences emphasizing the vocational enrichment of low vision and blind youth, increasing and providing access to a multifaceted array of mentorship, employment readiness skills, and alternative accessible techniques. Workshop Learning Objectives: Prerequisites and Things to Bring: If you are interested in participating in the March YES Startup Camp, please: Please note, space for this program is limited to nine (9) students and workshop attendance must be confirmed one week prior. 1:00 pm: Youth Extreme Recreation Adventure: Rec in the Redwoods1:00 pm: Youth Extreme Recreation Adventure: Rec in the Redwoods – Youth Extreme Recreation Adventure: Rec in the Redwoods During the 2018 and 2019 school years, the LightHouse’s Youth Program will be hosting monthly extreme recreation activities and adventures for youth that are blind or have low vision.
