IGNITE is again hosting its annual $100 Youth Startup Challenge!

This four-day Summer Camp provides youth with an opportunity to develop their entrepreneurial skills and gain hands-on experience in creating products and starting and running a business.

At the start of the Camp, the participants are given $100 to create their own idea and bring it to life. Throughout the week they will work through the process of developing their business until the final day when they take their product “to Market” to sell. The students will keep all profits earned. The goal is to encourage creativity and resourcefulness, as well as to teach participants how to manage a budget and make smart business decisions.

Through this event, IGNITE aims to foster a culture of entrepreneurship among young people and empower them to become leaders in their communities. Participants not only gain valuable skills, but also have the chance to connect with mentors to help them take this to the next level.

Overall, the $100 Challenge is an exciting opportunity for young people to explore their passion for entrepreneurship and develop skills they need to succeed!
