The Kauffman Foundation, New York Times and Inc. Magazine have joined forces to co-sponsor EntrepreneurshipWeek USA.

From February 24 to March 3, 2007, entrepreneurs, educators, community leaders and young people across the US will celebrate the power of entrepreneurship and ignite the nation’s consciousness about the importance of being entrepreneurial. EntrepreneurshipWeek USA offers a tremendous opportunity to engage and encourage the next generation of entrepreneurs. The initiative will enhance on-going interest and provide an educational kick-start for the uninitiated, serving as an inspiration for young people to begin a journey to fulfill their potential as self-starters and entrepreneurs.

According to the Kauffman Foundation, the focus of EntrepreneurshipWeek USA is

to inspire, educate and prepare young people, primarily ages 14 to 25, to be America's next great entrepreneurs and innovators. With the theme,"What's Your Big Idea? Take it On!" the initiative is designed to serve as an inspiration for young people to think creatively and to turn their ideas into action - whether that means starting a new business, developing an innovation for an existing company or solving a problem that makes society better.

Let's get involved and support this effort.
