The deadline to sign up is February 3rd at 11:59 pm.
KC BizFest offers high school juniors and seniors in the Greater Kansas City area an opportunity to learn a variety of life skills and business techniques. During a four-day intensive training seminar, KC BizFest focuses on helping students turn hobbies and skills into profit-making ventures, establish entrepreneurial and leadership goals, create plans for business and life, and become effective leaders and team players. BizFest culminates in a scholarship competition whereby participants present their business plans to judges for the opportunity to win scholarships.
Mentors play an important role in this process. Imagine learning how to write a business plan, researching pertinent information, putting your ideas into a presentation, and then presenting – in just four days! During the process, there are designated times when participants can interact with mentors to receive encouragement, advice, and practice opportunities.
Please sign up to be a mentor.
The 2021 BizFest event will be held virtually in Zoom Wednesday, February 10 – Saturday, February 13. Mentors sign up for times available to volunteer on select dates. *Friday, February 12 is the most crucial day to provide mentoring for the success of our participating students.
