The Youth Entrepreneurship Program offers business training classes to youth ages 14-20, providing an intensive introduction to opening and managing a business. Topics include product development, return on investment, marketing, advertising and publicity, manufacturing, income statements and balance sheets. Each participant develops an individual business plan and presents it to a panel for review. The program’s primary goal is to encourage young people to take a greater interest in their education, their families and their community. Our objective is to also help steer at-risk youth towards a brighter future through skills development and the opportunity to take part in legitimate commerce.

We are currently conducting youth entrepreneurship classes for students at William H. Maxwell C.T.E. High School and at Berean Baptist Church.
