One participant will be promoting his production company that produces plays, movies, books and records. And another will be promoting his YouTube channel that features health information. “We really have a whole gamut of businesses,” Mazza said. “I think it will be cool to see the creativity that the kids have.” Ash is hopeful that this year’s YEM is just the beginning. “If we can foster kids ideas, and give them a platform to actually sell to the community, the returns in terms of confidence and education will be huge,” he said. “And who knows, some of these kids may start the next Emmy’s Organics, Ithaca Bakery, Purity or other local success story.”
