Latin America (YLAI)
The Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative (YLAI) empowers Latin American entrepreneurs to advance their business knowhow and build their venture (business or enterprise) through exposure to the Chicago entrepreneurial ecosystem. Entrepreneurs are placed in four-week fellowships at start-ups, small enterprises, small business groups, and NGOs, where they spend time job shadowing, work as part of a team on a project, join client meetings, and do industry-specific research.
