The Chamber wants to help develop their ideas into reality with a nationwide program that’s launching kids into the world of commerce.

Then they compete, Shark Tank-style, to see whose idea gets real-life funding.

“Regardless of age, students in grades 6 – 12 have a lot of potential,” said Katie Ralston, who is with the Chamber Membership Services. “They have a lot of creativity, a lot of ideas and it’s our job to help them zero in on those ideas and develop them to help them launch a successful business.”

The application deadline for the 25 student spots is September 15th.
