Today we&#8217;d like to introduce you to Sarah Young.\u00a0Sarah is the Co-Founder and CEO of Rock Your Block, a job search platform for youth. As a teen, Sarah worked every sort of odd job and part-time job imaginable: walking dogs, babysitting, working at a local bakery\u2026you name it! As she grew up through the evolution of the Internet and watched services like LinkedIn and Monster come out that were targeted toward adults and professionals, she wondered why there was no solution for the most tech savvy generation of job seekers\u2013youth! She saw a huge market opportunity, and decided to pitch the idea at Startup Weekend Twin Cities 2010. A few days later, Rock Your Block was born!<\/p>\n<p>Sarah is passionate about working with youth and giving them the opportunities and skills they need to begin a successful career path. She is also extremely involved in both the entrepreneurial and technology community in San Francisco. Her experience in the technology industry includes specialization in mobile marketing, B2C applications, SaaS applications, M2M solutions, and marketing and channel management for technology products. She graduated from the Carlson School of Management in 2010.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h1>Sarah&#8217;s Favorite Quote<\/h1>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t turn to entrepreneurship because it is cool or fashionable.
