Welcome to Young Entrepreneurs!
My name is Celina. I am a university student studying Social Work at York University, and I also work at Explorer Hop's french team. I am very excited to be your child's Entrepreneurial coach this week.
The purpose of this camp is to teach children the potential of starting and launching their own businesses that would become a social initiative.
Through the week, they will be building a simplified business plan. They will learn about different company roles and terms such as CEO, Finance, Marketing, Sales and more. They will learn to build a solid brand and learn how to design a logo and advertisements.
