On October 4, 2007 Aspiring Youth began a 9 week project at B.C. Elmore Middle School for WAMU Kids Day. WAMU (Washington Mutual) partners with Aspiring Youth, local schools and others to provide students the opportunity to learn about business, financial management, marketing, and entrepreneurship. With WAMU Kids Day students learn about the different aspects of a small business and then take what they learn to create their own business. |
Aspiring Youth worked and trained a talented and dedicated group of 10 students from B.C. Elmore Middle School. They came up with Tiger Mart, which would be a novelty shop where a variety of products could be sold. The students then made pillows, jewelry and other items to be sold in their store. They created their own business plan, goals and mission statement; and they paid themselves $20 an hour as wages. Also as part of the project, they took out a business loan and paid interest on it. |
