Do you know any high school students who are interested in business, and want to learn the ins and outs of launching a company, straight from successful entrepreneurs?
SEED SPOT is the best place for these ambitious high school students to camp out this summer, and be part of the nonprofit’s first entrepreneurial program for teens.
Here’s what’s planned for this weeklong workshop:
Day 1: Students will be inspired when they meet the SEED SPOT family, including energetic mentors and rock-star social entrepreneurs.
