At 9 and 10 years of age, Megan Boudreau and Abby Somer created a board game called Let’s Dance. They were the first students to pitch on Dragon’s Den. In 2016, they attended Enterprise Olympics and continue to pursue business.

Youth Enterprise Camp helped me a lot with my dream of becoming an entrepreneur. The camp helped me with the funding process, the business plan, and more. The business camp is a camp that I suggest to everyone.

Nicole has participated in four Head Start in Business programs and the Summer Company program. She now works for an engineering start-up called Choose Muse.

I was a participant in the Youth Entrepreneurship Program in 2002. I learned so much about business start up during that time and thank Head Start In Business for continuing to support young entrepreneurs.

I owe much of this mindset to the Head Start In Business programs and competitions making me realize that anyone can be an entrepreneur no matter the age, time, or scenario! It truly gave me that power to pursue my business studies and to attempt to reach my best in being a successful entrepreneur.

Mes élèves se sont amusés tout en travaillant. Je suis contente d’avoir choisi la version préenregistrée puisque nous avons pris 90 minutes pour terminer l’activité. Oui, nous avons fait de plus longues pauses, mais c’était un bon rythme pour eux. Les liens ont bien fonctionné et le son était bon. Merci.

Head Start has shown me techniques and strategies on how to run my business and they guided me in the right direction. Thank you to Head Start In Business for all of your support.

Thanks so much! It was a great workshop, and it was awesome to see the students have an opportunity to be creative.

My 5 year old daughter was inspired last week to start her own company! She is currently selling bath bombs but plans to expand her products by many more! All of the products are home made and she was a part of every moment, from naming the business to picking scents to producing the product itself and even testing! I can say for sure the bombs are so wonderful smelling.
