OWN

ENTREPRENUERSHIP

Ownership is Power: Economic Empowerment through Entrepreneurship for our young people is not just about giving them the fish but teaching them how to fish so they can have their own fish and will be able to give back to others.  Learning the principals of Entrepreneurship is critical to business ownership. That is why we educate the students first then we provide them with mentorship and resources to start, create, and update their own business. Then they are taught how to use their business to not only empower themselves but their families, the communities and the world. Entrepreneurship is not just about owning a business but about owning yourself.

EDUCATE

EDUCATED ENTREPRENEURS

Knowledge is Power: Economic Empowerment starts with educating our Young CEO’s to know that understanding the principles of Business
Ownership is key to them sustaining their businesses for generations to come. During the camps and school programs, students are taught how to create a
business plan and then how to present their plan and ideas to an audience. However, after the shark tank presentations, the education continues. We also
focus on their academic and post-secondary goals in the elementary, middle, high schools and college.

LEAD

LIFETIME LEADERSHIP

Leadership is Power: Economic Empowerment Leadership is not about having power over people but the ability to empower them. It is imperative that a young entrepreneur is taught the principles of Lifetime Leadership. Our Leadership Principles are taught through our Young CEO’s of Tomorrow Organization. The Officers are taught leadership principles to lead the members of the organization. The organization also have a required program for the Parents of Young Entrepreneurs: when the parents are empowered, the children are empowered. Other programs include branding yourself, networking, public speaking/oratorical, community engagement and other important leadership skills.
