Description

Youth Entrepreneur Day is a family-oriented event where participants can shop and support youth-based vendors in Washington, DC. There is something amazing happening in our community! It is the inaugural Youth Entrepreneur Day, held on Juneteenth—Saturday, June 19th from 11:00 am – 4:00 pm (2007 11th Street NW Washington DC 20001) and you can be part of this wonderful event. Hosted by Purpose Is Life, a Washington, DC, based nonprofit, this event is designed to offer a platform for youth-based businesses (ages 10-18) to showcase their products and services. These kid-based businesses were primarily created during the pandemic and we have been inspired by the energy and innovation the youth have demonstrated. In celebration of Juneteenth, our plan is to make this a motivational and educational experience from beginning to end for the young business owners. Through workshops and guest speakers, we will walk-them through the steps of being a business owner, talk them through their sales pitch, explore branding, discuss scalability, and promote a healthy competition through games and prizes. Our proceeds will continue to support Purpose Is Life’s ambitious goal of being an innovation disruptor and invigorate mentorship and community-based activities for our youth. I encourage you to join us as a vendor, business partner or attendee. For more information email [email protected] Thank you to our partnering associations:
