entreprenuership

Teen Upward Bound youth summer camp offers a unique experience for the youth in Opa-Locka and surrounding communities. Youth have an opportunity to learn how to develop their own business ideas, participate team sports, and learn about positive peer relationships. Over the course of six weeks, youth will have an opportunity to visit local business and college sports programs as well as pitch business ideas and hear from professionals from our community. Our programs’ hours of operation accommodate the needs of parents/caregivers that do not work normal business hours and who are looking for a safe space for youth attending middle and high schools.
