Junior Presidents Young Entrepreneur Fair
Entrepreneurship Starts Here
Our next Young Entrepreneur Fair is coming this October!
Whether you're five years old with a lemonade stand or nineteen with an app, every entrepreneur starts the same way -with an idea.
Young entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to turn that idea into something real by creating, launching, and running their own business at our upcoming fair.
