CW Entrepreneurship Works

Our inaugural Entrepreneurship Works camp was an incredible success! Over the course of three weeks, 15 young people were immersed in business development education and concepts. All the learning was synthesized into creative business ideas and business plans with real market research, prototyping and pitch preparation. Our culminating pitch competition saw these young entrepreneurs present their ideas in front of friends, family, and members of the local business community. from T-Shirts and Plushie necklaces. to Sensory Supporting Mardi Gras Masks and Healthy Vending options, the young people demonstrated what happens when their ideas are supported in an environment that incubates their creativity and combines it with skill building education.

This year we are continuing to focus on our Entrepreneurship Works camp after an incredibly SUCCESSFUL inaugural year. This dynamic 4 week camp will once again take middle school aged young people from creative business ideation all the way through business plan development in partnership with NFTE(National Foundation For Teaching Entrepreneurship). Be sure to look out for news of the culminating pitch contest! Supporting this program helps us do the work of changing the narrative of what is achievable by the young people of New Orleans. Every gift given is an investment into the creative future of our city.
