Abstract: This descriptive qualitative study explored the efforts of the College of Business and Accountancy faculty and non-teaching staff of the university as they educate 15 Out-of-school young adults on entrepreneurship. Narratives revealed the experiences of the beneficiaries in the community extension program and its impact to the informants. One-on-one interviews were conducted to 15 Out-of-school youth of the Life Project for Youth. The interviews were conducted for 4 consecutive Saturdays with one hour of interview per young adult. Findings revealed two common themes: I have learned new lessons; and I will be an entrepreneur in the future. With interviews conducted in one month, the researchers recommend the continuation of the program to fully equip the out-of-school youth on this endeavor. It is also recommended by the researchers that students should take part in the dissemination of information and knowledge to LP4Y beneficiaries. A follow up study is highly recommended after 2 years of teaching the beneficiaries under the entrepreneurship program.
