Why Entrepreneurship?
Our founder realized that life skills were often overlooked in schools and in the home. She wanted to ensure that youth developed the skills necessary to be successful in life. Also, with the economy as it is, most people need eight streams of income, and many develop businesses as a way to thrive. Merging critical life skills with enterprise is great way to ensure the skills stick and can be used in every aspect of life.
