After teaching Entrepreneurship, Marketing and Business for 35 years I retired and GOD gave me the Vision to take all the resources and information I obtained and go into the community to teach young people in grades 4-12 and ages 17-25 how to start, maintain and sustain their own businesses. I accomplish this through our FREE 2-week summer camp that teaches them how to create a business plan then they present their plan in business plan "Shark Tank" presentation to judges and the community.Then they continue in the organizations where any student in grades 4-12 and ages 17-25 and invited to and participate in Business Economic Empowerment Sessions, Leadership Empowerment Sessions ,our Educational Empowerment Program and lots of Community Service and Community Engagement Activities
