Brighton’s Growing Grads program aims to teach young Brighton entrepreneurs how to start and operate a business, the creative processes and communication skills they’ll need and the expenses they need to keep in mind.
“It is tremendously rewarding to watch Brighton’s youth develop valuable business skills and build self-confidence through this program,” said Tawnya Russell, Youth Services Manager. “Our boot camp continues to adapt to a format that works best for all participants, and we expect 2024 to be our best session yet.”
The city will host the boot camp program for young entrepreneurs at Brighton’s City Hall, 500 South 4th Ave. An all-ages orientation is scheduled from 3-5 p.m. June 25.
The program itself runs June 26 and June 27.
The program is meant for young adults aged 19 and younger and is broken into two sessions by age. A program for ages 12 and younger runs from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. each day. The program for those ages 13 and older follows from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day.
Those who have completed the program are qualified to sell their items at the Brighton City BBQ festival on July 18.
The link to register for the boot camp is on the city’s website.
Applications are due June 14. If you have questions, please get in touch with Tawnya Russell, Manager of Youth Services, at 303-655-2123 or trussell@brightonco.gov.
