A Little about the Founder
Jennifer Young
Jennifer Young is the mind behind BEATSchool Inc. A graduate of Colorado State University with a M. ED in Adult Education and Human Resources Training, and former English teacher and educational leader who has worked in education for nearly eight years, she believes education is key to change. Now, she is ready to build a community learning center to help the community where adult education programs and trade school options are offered because they are proven to work!
As the mother of young boys and wife to a hard working plumber, she resonates with the importance of trades to our society. Without electricians or plumbers our properties would not be properly maintained. With accessible sustainable training in trades this will provide successful tradespersons for our future!
BEATSchool Inc. is what our community needs and what our skilled individuals deserve! Learning to live a life of freedom through craftsmanship, entrepreneurship, and education is what everyone should have a right to do!
A place to learn Like No Other
Unconventional learning opportunities provide non-traditional learners with the choice to change their lives and better their circumstances. The sustainable skills taught in these learning environments enhance our communities, grow our economy, and build our infrastructure.
We can empathize with those trying to succeed in life despite the many hurdles. After years of ongoing learning culminating in a Master’s Degree, Jennifer knows how much education can change one’s life! That’s why she wants to provide the opportunity to change lives with BEATSchool, Inc.
