Entrepreneurship with a Purpose
Have you ever wondered how you can help your community and the environment through entrepreneurship?
Learn how to develop, refine, and test your ideas, how to create a business plan, how to market and finance your enterprise, and ultimately, how to persuade others that your idea is worth pursuing. Make a live pitch in front of judges in a ‘Shark Tank’ format (only friendlier!). Through an experiential and fun approach, learn the business skills needed to move your idea from concept to reality.
Summer academy is cancelled for 2021, however, we will return with even more enthusiasm next summer!
