Event Supports Student Entrepreneurs in Ohio

Posted on | March 22, 2010 | No Comments

The 9th Annual E CITY Awareness Breakfast is coming soon:  Tuesday, April 13th, at 7AM.

This is a cool organization and if you’re a fan of entrepreneurship and live in Northeastern Ohio (or maybe even western PA) and want to support a good cause, check it out here: http://ennect.com/e1060.

E CITY is a non-profit organization that teaches students entrepreneurial, business and life skills to enable their economic independence.  The organization’s website says that ”E CITY makes business education relevant by teaching urban students how to start and operate their own small businesses. The program reaches out to youth in the Greater Cleveland area to teach the skills of entrepreneurship as a path toward economic self-sufficiency. E CITY inspires these teens by showing them that their innate street smarts, mental toughness and creativity can be turned toward viable business ideas.”

E CITY’s mission, it seems, is to achieve more than just teach students how to run their own businesses. The organization strives to teach a new way of looking at money, education, life, and the future. Says the website, “It’s about giving them a set of skills that assure them they are smart enough and good enough to make a contribution to our society and economy, and play out their own dreams.”

Attendance to the April breakfast is only $20, but even if you’re unable to attend, you can support their good cause. To donate, go here: https://ecityc.sslcert19.com/tacc5/donate.asp.
