Program Overview
NextGen CEO is a six-week business education course that teaches kids the basics of starting their own business, and what it takes to “be their own boss”. Run in partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Mid Central Coast, the program encourages students to find or expand on their passion, and create a business out of it. NextGen CEO provides students with a fun and engaging way to learn entrepreneurial skills. By the end of the program, students will have the opportunity to open and operate their own business.
The curriculum is tailored to a sixth-grade learning level and covers six main categories:
Business Fundamentals
Cost Models

Marketing
Customer Service
Safety & Food Preparation
Each session includes a video lesson with business leaders as guest speakers, offering real-world insights and inspiration. Students will also have a workbook to complete for each session as they plan their own business.
