Initiatives
During the Amazing Shake, students learn and develop professional qualities — from the mechanics of a proper handshake to how to “work the room” — so that they are able to present themselves exceptionally well for opportunities today and in the future.
The Youth Business Market offers an unparalleled opportunity for young entrepreneurs from Kindergarten through 12th grade to dive into the world of business. Participants are challenged to develop their own brand, create a product or service, devise a marketing strategy, and finally, sell to real customers in a one-day outdoor marketplace.
