Our program brings a local, cost effective opportunity for youth and adult participants to "learn by doing." Gaining skills in marketing and social media, developing community involvement/improvement projects, preparing SBA-aligned business plans and developing personal branding and soft skills.
Because we work with local and grassroots foundations and donors, our program will allow for participants to gain seed capital, entry level grants, loans, and scholarships. Participants will make personal connections with community industry partners, showcase their work to local organizations and professionals in the area, increasing their opportunities for networking and future success.
CTE Programs can use our program to meet Alt. Forms of Leadership, and engage their advisory committees (Check your state Perkins V State Plan ). School districts and post-secondary colleges, universities and trade schools can use these challenges to engage ALL students, encourage community service and showcase industry-relevant humans with real skills in their communities.
