Entrepreneurship Program

Learning to start a business can help youths develop a business mindset vital for being successful entrepreneurs. Statistics have indicated that most adolescents want to be entrepreneurs, but 55% fail because of discipline and business structure, and there is no market for their products or service. The Small Business Administration reports that most entrepreneurs need more financial capabilities to be successful. Youth is the next generation becoming business owners and are getting paid by being social media influencers and tech-savvy.

 

Entrepreneurship in youth builds resilience, innovation, teamwork, respect, critical thinking, and responsibility that will follow them through adulthood. Devine Leadership knows that all youth are not social media influencers and need the foundation to start a successful business. Devine Leadership shall provide workshops on the following but are not limited to:

 

​

• Starting the Business: We will educate the individuals on choosing a business entity, the purpose of the EIN, any business license requirement, and the importance of having a business plan. We shall have different business owners in various fields to speak with the youth so they can have an idea of what is expected in those professions.  

​

• Networking & Marketing: We will demonstrate how to network with other businesses and promote to their target audience. We will discuss the importance of branding their business and provide marketing strategies to reach a broader audience.

​

• Motivational Speakers: We will have motivational speakers to talk to the youth. The speakers will share their personal stories of how they became successful in business. We aim to motivate and inspire the youth on their journey as young entrepreneurs.
