Routt County 4-H and the Yampa Valley Entrepreneurship Center partnered to launch the Routt County Young Entrepreneur Program.
Culminating in a Pitch Competition July 31, the program offered local youth, ages 8 to 13, a hands-on introduction to entrepreneurship. Participants – who named themselves the Routty Kidpreneurs – attended workshops on business planning, money management, marketing and the fundamentals of entrepreneurship.
With guidance from experienced local business owners and mentors, they also had the opportunity to sell their products at local Farmers Markets.
