Wall Street Juniors proudly collaborates with the Red Maple Park Community to present an engaging Entrepreneurship Exploration Program. This initiative is designed to empower children, youth, and adults with essential entrepreneurial skills, foster community development, and encourage financial literacy.
This one-day event is designed to empower children, youth, and adults with essential entrepreneurial skills, foster community development, and encourage financial literacy. This local field trip is open for youth ages 12 and up. Onsite students will have the opportunity to create prototypes to showcase at the community-wide pop-up shop. Students can create their own t-shirts, and business cards, learn how to operate concession stands (cotton candy, popcorn, and snowcones), and more. All community participants will receive certificates after completing the program.
The Entrepreneurship Exploration Day Conference aims to condense valuable entrepreneurial insights into a dynamic one-day experience.
