Do you know any DC resident, aged 18-24, who wants to get paid to start a business?

Any business minded-youth who is out of school and available during the day from March to June to attend classes will receive a stipend from the Department of Employment Services (DOES) to launch or expand a business. They will receive daily instruction from 10:00 – 3:30, Monday – Thursday, on basic business principles. In addition, we will pay the fees for them to:


· Incorporate a business

· Write a full business plan

· Get a business license

· Join a membership group related to their trade

· Receive mentoring from an established business owner

In addition, the program includes intensive one-on-one business coaching, help with establishing business credit and obtaining financing. It will end in September, with the group pitching their ideas to private investors and lenders.
