High School Students Can Apply Online Now for 2019 Teen Entrepreneurship Summit Horseshoe Leadership Center Summer Program Scholarships

Youth Leadership Association Entrepreneurship Summit is open to high school students of all ages. Student participants will spend a week at the Horseshoe Leadership Center developing their entrepreneurship, leadership, and communication skills. The summit prepares teens to fulfill their potential as our West Virginia’s Next Generation of Entrepreneurs!

This year’s Entrepreneurship Summit at the Horseshoe Leadership Center is being held June 9 – 15, 2019.

Here’s what last year’s campers had to say, “I love the fact that I made new friends and went on a field trip, which was one of my favorite things about this camp. We got to talk to small business owners and how they got involved or started their business.” “After I leave camp all I think about is the next YLA event I can attend.” I have had an awesome time here. We did a lot of team building activities, a business start-up simulation to know what to expect when starting a business from scratch, and learned straight from the owners how local small businesses keep their doors open.”
