YELL graduates who complete the program with a B or higher will receive credit towards high school graduation and be eligible for credit through our partnered post-secondary institutions regardless of what faculty they to choose to enroll in.
YELL brings engaging entrepreneurs, community shapers and innovative companies together through unforgetting learning experiences that will inspire students and prepare them for the real world.
Hosted at West Vancouver Secondary School, the YELL program is offered to students entering Grades 11 and 12 from all three high schools in the district. The course is taught by WVSS teacher, Jo-Anne McKee and runs outside the regular timetable with weekly 2.5 hour classes.
Throughout the program, students learn core concepts of lean entrepreneurship with topics covering design thinking, resiliency training, marketing, financial projections and more! A diverse selection of inspiring entrepreneurs and business leaders will join the class to share their stories and advice to our students. YELL emphasizes the importance of networking, teamwork and mentorship and students will form teams to come up with a business idea that they will need to validate. They will get matched with mentors from the community and work towards the year-end YELL Venture Challenge, where they will present their business idea and learnings.
This is a great opportunity to participate in a unique program offered by the West Vancouver School District, YELL and their community of partners.
