Growing junior entrepreneurs

PROGRAM FOR YOUTHS STARTS FRIDAY AND RUNS FOR 10 WEEKS

Interfaith Food Bank and Junior Entrepreneur Parker Metz from The Tomato Wagon are teaming up again to teach kids how to grow their own money.

Kids will learn to grow plants, develop products and sell them in an environment for real money! They will also have fun learning entrepreneurial and financial management skills such as goal setting, budgeting, customer service, saving, sales strategies and investing their hard-earned money.

“The great thing about the Junior Entrepreneur program is that it is designed and led by an inspiring young entrepreneur,” says Danielle McIntyre, executive director with Interfaith Food Bank. “Parker Metz has discovered a passion for entrepreneurship and he’s eager to share his knowledge with other kids. Those who participated last year will enjoy this year’s format just as much, and this year, the group will work together to earn real cash!”

The 10-week long session is available to youth ages 8-12, and is open to all local youth with a passion for learning to grow their money. Those who are interested can sign up to participate in Friday afternoon sessions from March 9-May 25 at the Interfaith Learning Garden, located at Interfaith Food Bank Society of Lethbridge.

Sessions take place Fridays at 2:30 p.m. at Interfaith Food Bank, 1103 3 Ave. N.
