There are many resources for aspiring young entrepreneurs. Here are just a few places you can begin.
Start where you are: Many high schools have Junior Achievement, DECA and other programs, so check with your counselor about these and other opportunities in your community.
Colleges, universities and technical schools can help: Many have implemented student startup accelerators like the one at Colorado State University. See what’s available in your area.
