Funding the Young Entrepreneur Experience
Our community development division, WeCare Partnerships Network, is excited to be partnering with the Business Alliance of NC and the BANC Small Business Fund to produce the Young Entrepreneur Experience for students aged 16 - 23 - created to assist young people from wealth-challenged communities to become self-sustaining.
Our program is unique - it has been developed as an "apprenticeship-style" program that combines hands-on work with an existing entrepreneur, as well opportunities to "be" an entrepreneur as part of a group sales & marketing experience.
