* CYL LEADERSHIP EVENT *
Passion and Purpose in Business
Virtual Workshop
This is an opportunity for high school students to meet entrepreneurs and learn how they have developed their purpose in business by pursuing their passions! You will meet a variety of entrepreneurs who will share their pathway in creating their business, why they wanted to turn something they were passionate about into a business model, and how they are positively impacting their communities.
At Colorado Young Leaders, we want you to pursue your passions, develop your leadership skills, and make an impact in your community. There is no one right way to make a difference.
