2009 Youth Business Plan Competition

What is the Youth Business Plan Competition

BUILD's Youth Business Plan Competition (BPC) symbolizes the culmination of a year of hard work by entrepreneurial ninth grade students and their mentors. The students spend 7-10 hours a week during the academic school year with BUILD learning the fundamentals of business as well as management, organizational and professional communication skills in order to prepare for the BPC. Student teams of 3-5 members then present their innovative business plans (including financial statements) in two rounds of competition to a panel of prestigious judges. The winning team receives a cash prize and automatic acceptance into BUILD's second year program, the Youth Business Incubator.
