Here is a limited list of ideas. Be creative.
● Invite local entrepreneurs to speak with the youth about their successes and failures in becoming an entrepreneur, and be sure to allow for a question/answer period.
● Schedule field trips to local companies, banks, lawyers, accountants, etc. to expose the youth to the various components of running a successful business.
● Invite some professionals to the classroom, and set up a panel for the youth to ask questions about entrepreneurship and the roles entrepreneurs play.
● Consider pairing the youth with a mentor (either local community college students majoring in business or a retired business person, etc.).
● Plan on hosting a business plan competition with monetary prizes that the youth could use as seed money for their business idea.
