JA Teen Leadership Summit - Think Like an Entrepreneur

Junior Achievement of Sacramento’s Teen Leadership Summit - Think Like an Entrepreneur is an interactive experience designed to help young people develop an entrepreneurial mindset and turn their ideas into action.

Taking place Saturday, November 7, at Sacramento State, the summit will guide high school students through two modules from the JA Be Entrepreneurial curriculum: Developing a Mindset and Assessing Entrepreneurial Potential.
