Spreading Knowledge
Based upon the leadership and guidance of our qualified and caring mentors, since July 19, 2014, “The Scholars” Have successfully completed a series of entrepreneurial workshops, based upon an award winning book, entitled: ‘Success For Teens.” The central focus of the workshops was geared toward teaching four basic life-skills and business principles: 1) Citizenship skills 2) Business skills 3) Leadership skills , and 4) The arts.
