Thanks to a grant from the Missouri AfterSchool Network, Youth Ambassadors launched an exciting entrepreneurship program. Teens developed their own business ventures, creating plans, managing budgets, and presenting ideas like POW WOW, an LLC vendor cart for handmade dog treats. We’re grateful to MASN for making this impactful program possible! 📄✏️ #youthambassadorskc #youthemployment #empoweryouth #entrepreneurship

Thank you to the 120+ community members who came out to support! 🙏🏾 Many special thanks to Shawn Barber and the Chiefs Legends for showing up for the youth!
