Students utilize their creative and critical thinking skills throughout the after school program. We create a unique, open space for children between ages 10-14 to comfortably express themselves. Active mentors serve as program facilitators to build trust with each individual involved by acting as positive role models in a fun-filled environment. After School Program Activities: Arts & crafts Team & Youth Development Games Photography/videography Personal Financial Management Development Mentorship Field trips & more Student group: Middle School 69409 0 0 Summer Entrepreneurship 101 Program We train youth in Business Development, Finance & Accounting, Marketing & Branding, Communication and Etiquette, and Public Speaking. Through entrepreneurship sessions, students explore all the options of researching and bringing a business idea to a full business plan. Our students learn basic business terms along with finding their strengths and weaknesses. Students then create their business SWOT Analysis, Mission Statements, Governance, Operations, and Finance structure. We also address professional communication and etiquette. We stress the importance of their first impression in building a business relationship. At the end of the term, students complete in a business competition our version of "Shark Tank" event with community based and sector judges who award business seed money to the student group.
