This statistic is simply unacceptable. More than ever, it is important for YouthStart to pursue its objectives and reach a greater number of youth who are at risk of being left behind. Our goal is to succeed by inspiring these youths to become the entrepreneurs of their lives. YouthStart offers disadvantaged youth aged 16 to 30 years a unique and stimulating training program based on the fundamentals of entrepreneurship. Through the program, they regain their self-confidence and trust in others, essential steps to move forward and build a high-quality professional and personal future. During an 8-day program, NEETs discover their talents and learn how to take charge of their future. The YouthStart trainers motivate them to become independent and entrepreneurial." We believe that the entrepreneurial spirit and self-confidence are crucial elements for personal development, and for a prosperous society. Since the creation of YouthStart as a not-for-profit organization over 20 years ago, more than 9300 youths throughout Belgium have participated in the YouthStart training program.
