School is back in session and that means the YouthBiz 2023 contest is now open! YouthBiz is a business competition designed for grade six to twelve students in the Community Futures (CF) Sunrise area, in southeast Saskatchewan (whether in traditional, home school or other alternative school programs). The contest promotes entrepreneurship, financial literacy and digital skill building!
Since it was started by CF Sunrise in 2007, over 3,050 students from southeast Saskatchewan have competed for more than $32,000 in prize money.
To enter YouthBiz, students simply come up a fantastic business idea, write about it following along with questions in the YouthBiz Guide, and submit their entry on or before the contest deadline of 4:00 pm on November 14, 2023.
Students and teachers have already contacted CF Sunrise to arrange for school workshops and contest resource material. “We are excited to offer this contest again and look forward to some amazing entries. Youth entrepreneurship is definitely thriving in southeast Saskatchewan,” says Andria Brady, General Manager of Community Futures Sunrise.
