Youth Leadership (YL) participants learned how to use the Business Model Canvas
“Tell me, who are key partners in your potential business?” asked Hony Julajuj, Pueblo a Pueblo’s Training and Youth Leadership Project Coordinator.
Young, aspiring entrepreneurs from the Guineales Community and the Xojola Community gathered for a two-day workshop focused on turning their community projects into income-generating businesses. Each group is made up of a handful of youth who joined Youth Leadership (YL) Project in 2015. You can read more about them here.
After two years of learning about organic gardening, project management, monitoring and evaluation the groups are finally ready to plunge into the world of entrepreneurship. The group from Guineales is cultivating mushrooms and plans to sell them to neighbors and at the market. In Xocola, they’re hoping to sell local honey.

The goal of the workshop was to identify the status of their projects and introduce them to the Business Model Canvas. The Model provides a strategic template for developing a new business. The visual charts enable participants to identify potential product value, infrastructure, customers and finances.

Hony has high hopes for these groups. “The YL participants have taken a lot of initiative. They’ve identified a possible source of income in their communities and have worked together to get to this step. They haven’t formally studied business, but they’re all determined to succeed,” he added.
We’re very excited to see the progress of these small businesses and to see the youth from these communities create sustainable and economic opportunities.
