I love the name CANDO Youth Business Camp, mainly because we’ve billed our company as the Can Do Company since we started 20 years ago. CANDO is an acronym for their full name, Converse Area New Development Organization in Converse County, WY (population 12,766) with the biggest town, Douglas, having 5,288.
CANDO will hold their fifth annual entrepreneurial skills camp for 100 teens aged 14 to 18. The curriculum was developed by Paul Guinn, a serial entrepreneur who worked with Michael Dell when he started Dell Computers. The week long camp takes the young people thru how to organize a business, marketing, finance, sales and the building of a business plan. The winning business plan for the week receives a $250 cash award.
What are you doing to encourage the entrepreneurial spark in your community?
