Abstract Leadership and career readiness are important goals for youth development. Entrepreneurship has recently been considered as a potential intervention to support these aims. This study examined a venture development program for low-income youth through participant surveys (n = 57) and a comparison group (n = 72). Findings from structural equation modeling indicate relationships between the program and project management skills, which in turn was associated with youth leadership. Findings also showed relationships between the program and financial literacy, which was associated with an increase in future orientation. This study shows early evidence of entrepreneurship and venture creation as mechanisms to support marginalized youth.

作为干预的社会创业：边缘化青年创业发展计划的结果

摘要 领导力和职业准备是青年发展的重要目标。企业家精神最近被认为是支持这些目标的潜在干预措施。本研究通过参与者调查 (n = 57) 和对照组 (n = 72) 审查了针对低收入青年的风险发展计划。结构方程模型的结果表明计划和项目管理技能之间的关系，这反过来又与青年领导力有关。调查结果还显示了该计划与金融素养之间的关系，这与未来导向的增加有关。这项研究显示了创业和风险创造作为支持边缘化青年的机制的早期证据。
