Youth Business Showers

Business Showers is a competitive program that finds youth grades 9-12 (up to 17 years) and assists with starting a new business; or, youth who have recently started a business and need guidance, people, and financial support.  Youth Finalists compete by learning how to write, compile & pitch a Business Plan, during a 16-week course, in hopes of becoming one of the top businesses/non-profits to receive a Business Shower.  During the Business Shower Event, honorees that have won will have an official business launch.  During this Business Shower Event, honorees selected, will have a "business registry" reveal, ribbon cutting, food, and networking as they are celebrated at a large-scale community event in July.  Participants are also connected with businesses, corporations, and partners who will continue to be a resource for them and their business growth.
