Minding Our Business Service Learning Program

This program provides students at three Trenton middle schools with after-school training sessions under the guidance of college student mentors from Rider University, building their skills in entrepreneurship, communications, leadership, and financial literacy. 70 Trenton students developed their business ideas and piloted them during real events. Many graduates of earlier years of the program have gone on to become established entrepreneurs and creators in Trenton.
