LINCOLN

Lincoln CEO class are thinking about what it looks like to start and
run their own personal businesses.

 On
August 28th, our community began the CEO program year- just the
first in a series of steps to help cultivate real life skills in our
students and to enter our community into a national network of high
caliber, young leaders.
“CEO” stands for Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities. It is a
year-long, experientially learning based course, designed to utilize
partnerships in our community to provide an overview of business
processes and development.
Throughout the program year, students will visit local businesses,
learn from guest speakers, participate in operating a class
business, write a business plan, and, from concept to reality, build
their own legal, functioning entity.
It is with this program that our community seeks to develop and
invest in the next generation. Being faced with real-life challenges
has proven results of developing young people who are leaders and
problem solvers. It is with this knowledge that they can see, with
refreshed perspective, the opportunity that their community holds.

This
program’s dedication to that mission, paired our community’s
engagement, will provide each CEO student with the opportunity
to develop such skills, setting them up for future successes,
and allowing them, along the way, to participate in the
experience of a lifetime.
Students selected for the LLCEO class of 2018 are:
