According to a recent Gallup poll,
nearly 70% of American teenagers indicated they wanted to learn how to
start their own business. But studies show that high school seniors
only achieve an average score of 40% on basic economic literacy tests.

the skills required to succeed in business. We believe that
entrepreneurship and business education is an effective way to reverse
this trend: teaching teenagers to manage their resources - time, talent
and money - enables them to develop the skills necessary to become
successful participants within the economic system.
