About Aspiring Youth Academy

Invest in Innovation: Empower Tomorrow's Entrepreneurs

At Aspiring Youth Academy (AYA), we empower Arizona’s teens to break the cycle of poverty through entrepreneurship, leadership, and financial literacy. Since 2014, we’ve supported hundreds of Title 1 students annually, helping them transform dreams into opportunities.  

Our free, dynamic programs include:  

  • Spring Innovation Camp: A  business pitch competition held at Friendly Pines Camp in Prescott, AZ
  • Innovation Hub Powered by ASU: A 15-course entrepreneurship curriculum.  
  • Future Innovators Teen/Mentor Program: Business leader mentorship and scholarships.  
  • Innovator’s Circle: Monthly workshops turning passions into ventures.  

Why Give?  
Your donation fuels these life-changing programs and qualifies for the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit up to $938 for married filers or $470 for single filers.  

Shape the Future Today
Your gift helps teens rise above their circumstances to become community leaders. Together, we can make their dreams a reality.
