Recently, an organization called the ACE Project in Louisville completed its Academy of Child Entrepreneurship Course, where 14 students learned valuable skills to start their own businesses. Among them was 14-year-old Jayme Angton, who started her business called “All Things Girls.”
Through the seven-month program, Jayme learned business vocabulary, financial skills, and how to create a business plan. Although she found the process challenging, she embraced the opportunity to step out of her comfort zone and develop her creativity. The ACE Project helped her overcome her shyness and discover a passion for entrepreneurship.
The ACE Project aims to make a positive impact on underserved children and families affected by gun violence and trauma. By keeping children busy with productive activities like starting their own business, the program serves as a preventative measure. Students receive financial support from the organization to kickstart their businesses. The ACE Project will continue to offer the free course this summer for children aged 10 to 18 to participate in and learn valuable business skills.
