Creation of the Teen Entrepreneur Centre and Academy

The need for the creation of a SA Teen Entrepreneur Centre has become the main focus of the recently created Teen Entrepreneur Trust.

The main objectives of the Centre and Academy will be as follows:

  • To unlock, cultivate and promote the entrepreneurial spirit in all our Teens
  • To provide Teenagers in Western Cape with a process and journey of unlocking the business potential in each of them
  • To  assist in transforming ideas into businesses and provide all the necessary coaching and mentoring necessary
  • Create  business network for Teen Business Owners
  • To provide Teen Business Owner with a platform to network and discuss with like mind
  • Assist Teen Business Owners with a forum for business discussions and brainstorm common issues facing them
  • To present Teen Business Owners further opportunity to franchise the various chapters of the network
  • To provide a platform where more experienced business experts can present various topics to Teen Business Owners

Funding will be required to realise the above dream and we therefore call for sponsorships to assist us in this mammoth task of giving our teens a vehicle through which we can harness their business potential. A budget of around R8 million (Eight Million Rands) has been drawn.
