Culinary Dreams: Empower a Future Chef through Job Training Sponsorship

Ignite the spark of innovation and social responsibility in tomorrow’s leaders by sponsoring a child through the Future Founders Youth Entrepreneurship Program. This dynamic initiative guides students through the exciting journey of starting their very own micro-business, under the expert guidance of Scores Coach-Mentors. Participants delve into essential business skills such as understanding community social causes, cost and revenue calculation, marketing strategies, product development, and the art of drafting a comprehensive business plan. The program culminates in "The Pitch," an annual shark-tank style event where students present their business plans to compete for a micro-loan, kick-starting their entrepreneurial venture. With the seed funding in their grasp, they bring their ideas to life, selling products and learning firsthand about running a business. Upon repaying their loan, students experience the joy of giving back by donating their business proceeds to a non-profit organization of their choosing. By sponsoring a child in this program, you're not just funding an educational experience; you're investing in a young person's ability to create change, develop lifelong skills, and understand the value of community and philanthropy. Help shape the future of innovation by empowering a child with the tools to succeed in business and in life.
