CEO Entrepreneurship Program

We are excited to introduce CEO, a transformative initiative designed to empower young individuals with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to succeed in the world of entrepreneurship. This initiative is a collaboration between two local non-profit organizations, Project Life @ UMFS and Worthdays. This program offers a unique opportunity for youth with experience in foster care to explore their entrepreneurial potential through hands-on learning experiences, mentorship, and interactive workshops. The initiative strives to create meaningful connections for the youth participating to help expand their personal and professional networks. A wide range of youth aged 14-23 will be involved in the program: those who already have a business idea and those who may not even yet believe they are capable of being an entrepreneur; those who need very basic guidance and those who will benefit from more advanced expertise; and those who simply may be dreaming of an informal “side hustle” to those who are dreaming of starting their own LLC. CEO will expose youth to information, relationships, connections, networks and opportunities that will lead to college, career and/or life success.
