ROCORI Community Education

Calling all future business owners! The Chamber of Commerce is excited to offer a Young Entrepreneurs Workshop designed to teach kids the fundamentals of starting and running their own business.

Open to youth ages 5–17, this hands-on, interactive program will take place during two classes held on August 6th and August 13th (2 hours each). Participants will learn:

• How to turn an idea into a business
• Basics of product creation and planning
• Smart pricing strategies
• Branding and marketing techniques
• How to confidently sell their products

Students will apply what they learn in a real-world setting by selling their goods at Rock the River on August 20th! This exciting community event gives young entrepreneurs the opportunity to showcase and sell their products, practice customer service skills, and experience the rewards of running their own business. Can’t attend the classes? Youth who are unable to participate in the August 6th and 13th sessions may still register to sell their products at Rock the River on August 20th. The same registration fee applies. Please note:

• Food and beverage items are not permitted.
• Young entrepreneurs are responsible for providing their own table, change, and any materials or supplies needed to set up their stand on August 20th.

This program is perfect for creative, motivated kids who are ready to learn, lead, and launch their very first venture! Spots are limited—register today and watch your child’s entrepreneurial spirit shine!
