Citi Foundation Youth Economic Development Challenge

Your challenge is to think about a job or a business you’d like to create. How can this job or business help people in your community? What makes this job special and good for everyone?

Need Inspiration? Here are some ideas to help you think creatively about how your idea can contribute to decent work and economic growth:

• The Helping Hands Cafe: Imagine a cozy café where kids and adults can learn to cook and serve food together. This café could provide jobs for community members and teach young people valuable cooking and customer service skills. It’s a fun way to bring people together while learning new skills
• The Creative Crafts Studio: Envision a studio where people can make and sell their own crafts, like jewelry, art, or toys. This studio could offer jobs for craft makers and provide a place for people to learn about running a small business. It’s a fun way to turn creativity into a job that everyone can enjoy!
• The Youth Tech Hub: Imagine a tech hub where young people can learn about computers, robotics, and coding. This hub could provide jobs for tech experts and give kids the chance to explore exciting technology and prepare for future careers. It’s a place where learning about tech can lead to great opportunities!

Use your imagination and creativity to come up with a great idea that will help people and make your community shine. Have fun with your challenge, and remember, every great idea starts with you!
