Community Futures Shuswap has announced the region’s first Biz Kids program will be offered in Salmon Arm and Sicamous. The entrepreneurial camp will support up to 20 youths aged 10 to 16 years to develop and launch a small business in the Shuswap region. Youths will participate in four business development sessions and will benefit from the business expertise of mentors from local businesses as they work to define and operate their small business venture. In addition to the business support being offered, youths will have access to $50 of non-repayable seed money to help them successfully get their businesses off the ground. Applications are due by April 18 and are available online at www.futureshuswap.com/workshops or at the Community Futures offices at 101-160 Harbourfront Dr. Additional information is available at 250-803-0156 ext 107.
