Unleashing Entrepreneurship: Brighton’s Growing Grads Boot Camp Empowers Young Business Minds

Brighton’s Growing Grads program is a unique opportunity for young entrepreneurs to learn the skills needed to start and run a successful business. The program covers a range of topics, including creative and communication skills, as well as the expenses to consider when starting a business.

According to Tawnya Russell, Youth Services Manager, the program has been highly successful in helping young people develop important business skills and gain self-confidence. The boot camp is constantly evolving to meet the needs of its participants and is expected to be even better in 2024.

The boot camp will take place at Brighton’s City Hall on 500 South 4th Ave. An orientation for all ages will be held on June 25 from 3-5 p.m., with separate sessions for different age groups. The program for ages 12 and younger will run from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., while the program for those aged 13 and older will take place from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day.

Upon completion of the program, participants will have the opportunity to sell their products at the Brighton City BBQ festival on July 18. To register for the boot camp, applications must be submitted by June 14 through the city’s website.
