RED DEER, AB \u2013 May 26, 2011 \u2013<\/strong> The Canadian Youth Business  Foundation (CYBF) is pleased to welcome [engage] <\/strong>to its network of <\/strong>Community  Partners.

CYBF, Canada\u2019s go-to place for youth  entrepreneurship, relies on its Community Partners (CP) to act as local  representatives in their communities. CPs offer guidance and resources to  budding entrepreneurs in the business planning stage and beyond. CPs bring  together Loan Review Committees to support the selection of young entrepreneurs  for CYBF programs and they enlist the help of community business leaders to  volunteer as mentors. Together, CYBF and CPs work to ensure young, passionate  entrepreneurs have the tools and resources they need to be successful in Canada  and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are pleased to be working with  [engage], a volunteer-driven group of current and future business leaders in  Red Deer, to promote youth entrepreneurship,\u201d said Christi Millar, Director, CYBF  Alberta. \u201c[engage] volunteers understand the importance, the challenges and the  opportunities associated with starting and running a business because many of  them are entrepreneurs themselves. Through this partnership, we look forward to  reaching out to young entrepreneurs in central Alberta to help them start a  business and contribute to the economic development of their communities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[engage] is very excited to work with  CYBF,\u201d said Tyler Bowman, Vice President, [engage]. \u201cThe goals of CYBF align  perfectly with [engage]’s mandate to support young professionals and  entrepreneurs in central Alberta. We are happy to be promoting CYBF\u2019s programs  and taking part in the loan review process at a local level.\u201d [engage] strives  to develop the skills, knowledge and networks of young professionals in central  Alberta by offering relevant and informative events, presentations and courses.  It joins the roster of the more than 170 CYBF Community Partners in cities  within all 13 Canadian provinces and territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Economic development in Red Deer has a  significant impact on Alberta\u2019s economy as a whole. To support aspiring young  entrepreneurs in this city, CYBF will also begin hosting a six-part business  planning workshop series, starting on May 28th, to give them the  tools they need to start their own businesses.
