At the Atascadero Chamber of Commerce, we’re passionate about investing in our community’s future, which starts with empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our Jr. CEO program for 2025!
If you’re new to our Jr. CEO program, it’s a six-week digital education course starting on March 5th, that is designed to teach kids the foundational skills and knowledge they need to launch their own businesses. Information from these courses are presented at a Junior High learning level, but children 6-16 are welcome to participate! While this program is directed towards kids in Atascadero, families across the county are also welcome participate.
The Jr. CEO program covers five essential areas of business:
- Business Fundamentals
- Cost Models
- Safety & Food Preparation
- Marketing & Customer Service
- Money Management
The program culminates in an exciting “Jr. CEO Business Day,” where our Jr. CEOs put their newfound knowledge into action and open their own businesses in Atascadero for one day. It’s a hands-on experience that builds confidence and fosters a love for entrepreneurship.
Enrollment for the 2025 Jr. CEO program is now open! Tuition is just $25 per student or $40 per family. Give your child the gift of entrepreneurial skills and empower them to shape their future. Together, let’s foster the next generation of business leaders in Atascadero!
