BIG DREAMS START YOUNG!

Thursday, 29 June 2017, Issue #14

OUR IDEA GENERATION ROADSHOW IS MET WITH MUCH ENTHUSIASM

Teen Entrepreneur

Now that we have officially left the starting blocks, we are firmly in the race.

Following our hugely successful Awaken the Giant Breakfast last month, we have started Idea Generation Workshops with a number of our learners, and we are seeing a number of very innovative business ideas coming to the fore. These workshops are now done in clusters, allowing learners from different schools to interact and share their perspectives.

Teen Entrepreneur

What’s apparent is that learners are definitely more in tune with their immediate surroundings, and are seeking out opportunities - through their business ideas - to make a positive difference in their communities. It is wonderful to see this unfold because it means that we, at Teen Entrepreneur, are achieving success in our mission to teach entrepreneur skills to as many young people as possible.

If so, we are pleased to share with you that we will be hosting a #TeenBOSS Bootcamp during the June/July school holidays at The River Club in Cape Town again. Essentially, #TeenBOSS is a condensed version of our full 15-module syllabus, and is aimed at budding young entrepreneurs whose schools are currently not signed up on the Teen Entrepreneur programme. We guarantee that you will have a viable business idea after the 3-day course! If you are interested, please download and complete the form.

SUPPORT OUR ENTREPRENEUR CAUSE BY SIGNING ON AS A MYSCHOOL BENEFICIARY

My School

As part of our efforts to reach more young learners across the country with our entrepreneurship messages and activities, we have applied to become a beneficiary of the MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet Programme, and are pleased to share with you that we have been approved. Being part of the MySchool Programme will enable us to raise much-needed funds to start up more Entrepreneur Societies, but importantly, being a MySchool beneficiary will go a long way to ensuring that our projects become self-sufficient and sustainable.

It is therefore imperative that we are able to sign on as many supporters of the
SA Teen Entrepreneur Trust as possible.

As a valued stakeholder of the Trust, we would be most appreciative if you would consider becoming a MySchool supporter for SA Teen Entrepreneur by completing the attached form and either returning it to nadia.snyders@teenentrepreneur.co.za for processing, or by registering online at https://www.myschool.co.za/supporter/apply/. Because you are able to support 3 beneficiaries with one application, you are also able to assist 2 schools or organisations of your choice additionally, provided they are benefactors of the MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet Programme.

Many thanks for your on-going support of the SA Teen Entrepreneur Foundation!
