Pitch Your Idea Over Lunch!

On Monday, 8/19 at 11am, teens and youth-led organizations from across NC are invited to tour Hangar6 at First Flight Venture Center!
 
Over lunch, teens and youth-led organizations had the opportunity to share their elevator pitches, presenting their own ideas to impact our communities or highlighting their organization’s mission at First Flight Venture Center! Those who joined us, had the opportunity for a tour of Hangar6, enjoyed lunch with our friends Ben Provan, Dr. Hortense Doo, and discovered how she started IngateyGen, LLC.

Over lunch, you’ll have the opportunity to share your elevator pitch about your own ideas to impact our communities or highlight what your organization is already doing to create real change.

Teaching entrepreneurship to teens while they’re determining their pathways for success is incredibly powerful. It equips them with essential skills, fosters creativity, and empowers them to make a positive difference.
