Are you a high school student with a passion for innovation and a dream of building your own business empire? This program gives participants the opportunity to engage in a hands-on, project-based learning experience where they will gain knowledge about starting and growing a business, meet and learn from successful entrepreneurs, and compete in a Shark Tank-style pitch competition.

The Youth Pitch Competition will award a $1,000 cash prize for 1st Place, along with prizes for 2nd and 3rd Place winners. Participants will also enjoy meals and support throughout the program thanks to the generous sponsorship of the United Way of Graham and Greenlee Counties. We are incredibly grateful for their investment in our local youth and future entrepreneurs.
