Learning



HELP WANTED


The Learning EnterpriZe is one of seven work sectors of the YouthUSA social enterprise program.  The sponsor’s intent is to identify local needs and qualify, certify and sustain service providers to meet needs.  


The program reinvests revenue from grants, charitable giving, and individual entrepreneurship to create meaningful work opportunities.  


Historically, The Free African Society played a role in education and in providing members with medical care. Although many schools for black children were founded by white philanthropists, the FAS started teaching blacks how to read in 1795 in a Sunday school class at Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME Church). In 1803, Cyrus Bustill opened a school for black children in his home, and a year later, Absalom Jones opened another school. By 1837, with financial help from the Quakers and the Pennsylvania Abolition Society, ten private schools for blacks were operating.

  1. As stated, The Learning EnterpriZe is one of seven work sectors of the YouthUSA social enterprise program. The sponsor’s intent is to identify local needs and qualify, certify and sustain service providers to meet needs. With the current technological advances, is a physical school or college building necessary for learning to take place? How can communities deliver quality learning without the enormous debts incurred by our youth and young adults? Once we identify quality tools for learning to take place, how can we inspire those who need the information to take advantage of the opportunity?
