Teen Entrepreneur Workshop in Folsom
May 7th, 2009 categories: Finances, Folsom, Special Events
YoungBiz is coming to Folsom and I would encourage parents of teenagers to get their teenagers involved. This workshop is designed to teach basic financial skills and offer aspiring entrepreneurs the structure and encouragement to pursue their dreams. According to the Young Americans Center for Financial Education nearly one third of high school seniors use credit cards. Another statistic: the average college student graduates with $22,500.00 of debt and that is not counting those who don’t actually get their diploma! I wish they had this workshop around when my teenagers were in high school because they could have benefited greatly.
The format is designed for high school students and encourages creative thinking while developing fundamental financial skills coupled with real time examples of peer success. The venue is the Folsom Public Library (Stafford St.) and begins at 4:30 until 7PM. Students will have the opportunity to meet successful business people (their own age!) and find out how they succeeded. Some of the ideas are as basic as breakfast cereal! Seating is limited so call 916-806-3989 to reserve your seat. For more information contact: mariehall@youngbiz.com
