The Young Entrepreneurs Summer Series aims to foster an entrepreneurial spirit in young people by providing them with resources and exposure to local business leaders in various industries. Students will explore a variety of business-related subjects through an interactive curriculum and gain a wider appreciation of the fundamentals required for starting a business. With this exciting new summer program, we seek to help prepare students for the future by providing them with the skills and knowledge of developing a brand and launching a business.

The Entrepreneurship Summer Series program will be held at Goodwill of North Georgia (4070 Lexington Rd, Athens, GA 30605). Registration is open to students in grades 9-12. The 4-week program is Wednesdays and Fridays from 10am- 12pm, and Thursdays from 10am- 3pm. The program is FREE, and lunch is included.
