CAMP DIVA is now recruiting selected teen girls between the ages of 12-17 years old to participate in the Diva-pre-neurship Inc. program to launch teen generated businesses.

Entrepreneurs drive America’s economy, accounting for the majority of our nation’s new job creation and innovations. Entrepreneurship programs can be a lot of fun for teens—but beyond the fun, they can achieve very positive results. By learning how academic skills connect to real business opportunities and hopes for success, students can be motivated to work harder in school. Entrepreneurship programs also give wide scope to student creativity and energy and offer a positive way for students to channel their talents. 

To nominate a girl please contact CAMP DIVA to request a nomination application or visit us online to print the form from our website. The deadline for nominees is December 30, 2008. All nominees will be contacted by January 9, 2008 for an interview which will be scheduled for the first week in January. Girls must be available for orientation and training on Saturday, January 24, 2009 ( 10 a.m.- 4 p.m.) Additional training and planning will be held two Saturdays per month from February-May. The training schedule will be provided during orientation.
