Teen Entrepreneurship Program

The Step By Step, Inc. program (Kanawha County) is implementing a year-round school-based Teen Entrepreneurship Program that will link existing afterschool and summer programs serving 30 high school youth in the Harts-Chapmanville area. Teens will explore at least two apprenticeship areas, receive life skills training, and be exposed to at least four different entrepreneurial tracks. Five or more caring adults will receive training in how to convey entrepreneurial skills.
