Participating from Tucker County was Eli Nestor.

HORSESHOE – St. George, WV – After a school year that was challenging for everyone, teens from ­­15 West Virginia counties enjoyed gathering at the 44th annual high school Entrepreneurship Summit at Horseshoe Leadership Center.

During the week, 7th-12th grade students turned their entrepreneurial ideas into businesses.  Their efforts were coached by a group of entrepreneurial professionals, who encouraged the students and connected them to real-life resources to help guide their vision into reality. Instructors from West Virginia University, Marshall University, and Hardy United taught interactive workshops alongside YLA instructors who used team building, leadership development, and civics activities to develop entrepreneurial skills.

One of the highlights of Teen Entrepreneurship Summit is the connection between entrepreneurship and community development.  On a field trip to several businesses in Thomas and Davis, WV, students had opportunity to meet and interview local entrepreneurs who shared about their business journeys and how their ventures are improving their communities.

The Summit is a partnership of the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce, the Ohio-West

Virginia Youth Leadership Association, the West Virginia Department of Education, local

schools, AmeriCorps VISTA, Dominion Energy Foundation, and others. Business leaders, local Chambers of Commerce, civic groups, and others sponsor students to attend the Summit.

To register for next year’s Summit June 12-18, 2022, visit www.yla-youthleadership.org or call Horseshoe at 304-478-2481.
