Entrepreneurship
The CJE helps youth develop their own personal projects in an academic setting. Youth participants carry out various stages of the entrepreneurial process; making decisions and assuming considerable responsibility throughout its entirety.
These activities result in the acquisition of knowledge and skills that are transferable to both the classroom and workplace. Youth become the project managers; mediating entrepreneurial projects or creating collectively-owned businesses. Preforming these tasks will inspire young individuals to be bold and creative while overcoming challenges…to truly become the leaders of tomorrow.
Volunteering
