Stop the Violence Indianapolis, Inc. and Microsoft Partnership
STVI is pleased to announce that they have partnered with Microsoft to offer a program called Youth Spark Camp: Start You Own Business for young ladies between the ages of 13 & 18.
This is a four-week program with two hours per session where they will turn their passion into a great entrepreneurial business idea. All participants will receive guidance on developing their ideas into a robust business plan with a polished pitch ready to share with the world.
The young ladies will go through a series of engaging hands-on group activities to introduce key business concepts, including:
• How to create a product or service
• Marketing and promotion
• Pricing and costs
• Manufacturing and distribution
This is a 4 week program and you MUST be able to attend all 4 weeks. Each week is a two-hour session located at the Microsoft office at Keystone at the Crossing Mall Store.
We will go in groups of 10, with another class starting at the completion of the first. During the final session, participants will have the opportunity to present their completed business plan for feedback and insight from their parents and/or guardians.
If your young lady can commit to a 4 week session. The dates are to be determined.
