Through the Junior Entrepreneurial Development Initiative, we strive to connect youth ages 11-18 with mentors from local businesses, giving them the tools and knowledge to succeed in the entrepreneurial world. Through this initiative, youth are gaining invaluable insights into how businesses operate, while simultaneously honoring their artistic talents.

If you are a business that is interested in mentoring, or a youth who would like to participate in our J.E.D.I. program, please watch the appropriate video and fill out survey form below. We are in the process of developing this program and this will allow us to create concrete data points to allow success for the initiative's launch in October 2025.
