Apply Today for Junior Achievement’s SPARK Program – a free year-long program for middle school girls focusing on leadership and entrepreneurial thinking, highlighted by a week-long residential summer experience at Massachusetts Maritime Academy from August 13th-August 17th.
SPARK offers a unique blend of career readiness, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and leadership development. Girls will learn the foundational skills of how to be an entrepreneur, work in teams to create their own social enterprise businesses, and practice skills such as business plan development, marketing and branding, and strategic planning. Participants will meet periodically throughout the following academic year to expand on their ideas and put their plans into action.
The program is open to 13-14 year old girls across Southern Massachusetts.
SPARK participants include young women from varying socioeconomic backgrounds, many of whom have already begun their entrepreneurial endeavors and are eager to expand in their pursuits of someday owning their own business, while others are just scratching the surface and diving into a world of possibilities.
