It’s been a hot and humid summer, especially for kids attending urban day camps. But as 14 of our Boston teammates recently discovered, steamy weather doesn’t zap the enthusiasm of school-age kids enjoying United South End Settlements (“USES”) Entrepreneur Week. Over two days, our volunteers helped the campers prepare “Shrinky Dink” keychains for sale at their neighborhood marketplace, and several helped out at the live event. The program’s goal is introducing kids to basic business principles, from pitching a product idea to producing their items and creating marketing flyers. This is the third summer our team has enjoyed supporting USES’ young entrepreneurs and as volunteer Jane Crapo noted, “I can’t wait till next time!”
