Youth Entrepreneurs® Georgia student JuShawn Carter, a
senior at Benjamin E. Mays High School, began her business, CakesbyFourteen at
the age of fourteen. Since its launching, CakesbyFourteen has generated
thousands of dollars annually – no small feat for a teenager.
On April 23, 2013, Ms. Carter and Franchesca L. Thompson, a
Youth Entrepreneurs® Georgia teacher at North Atlanta High School, will be
honored at the 25th Anniversary Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) Gala
at The Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York.
Youth Entrepreneurs® Georgia is a high school business
education program that helps create productive members of society and improve
communities by cultivating an entrepreneurial way of thinking. It does this by:
- fostering interest in young people to own their
own business or create value as an employee by thinking like an owner, and
- providing students with business and
entrepreneurial education and experiences that help them prosper and become
contributing members of society.
