The entrepreneurship Club at Benedictine is an exciting program. The entrepreneurship club is part of the Veale Youth Entrepreneurship Forum. The mission of the forum is to enable high school students to recognize their full potential by experiencing all facets of entrepreneurship. The Forum delivers on that purpose through high-value learning experiences and connections to the real-world of entrepreneurship. Funded by The Veale Foundation, the Forum is a growing network of high schools in Northeast Ohio that was founded in 2012 with the assistance of the Young Entrepreneur Institute at University School. The Forum currently reaches some 3,000 students annually at 22 different private and public high schools that are invited for participation and uses its resources to equip students with an entrepreneurial mindset and essential skills. The Forum sponsors annual business and pitch competitions, enabling students to develop ideas, deliver presentations, create business plans, and found new ventures. Student participation in summer internships, entrepreneurship camps, and the Young Entrepreneur Market are also supported. The Forum introduces students and their teachers to Northeast Ohio’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, providing students with a network for kick starting their professional lives in a place where entrepreneurs are nurtured and supported. Over the past three years Benedictine has had multiple winners in Pitchfest, the Teen Pitch Tank, and the Veale Venture Challenge. Our students have started and run businesses that have grossed over $50,000 in sales.
