At our Williamston Club’s Kidpreneur Day, 4th grade through teen members stepped up to the challenge and into the role of young entrepreneurs—bringing their business ideas to life from start to finish. Each participant developed a purpose for their business, created a logo, crafted a catchy slogan, designed business cards, dressed the part, and confidently presented their ideas to an audience. With support from staff and engaged parents who asked thoughtful questions, these future leaders showed passion, creativity, and the drive to make an impact in their communities. Boys & Girls Clubs are proud to help build the next generation of difference-makers 💙 📸 See more pictures of the event here: https://lnkd.in/eEXJazm8 #BGCCP #GreatFuturesStartHere #Kidpreneur
