Catholic Entrepreneurship for Teens

Marin HS Opens Principled Entrepreneurship Institute with CEDE.
“In the Fall of 2020 we will open our Principled Entrepreneurship Institute at Marin Catholic and could not have done it without the CEDE curriculum. This will be the foundation of the course where our students will discern their vocation and purpose in life as entrepreneurs in service of our world.”
Bosco Catholic begins CEDE vocations program
“In the fall of 2019, I became a new member of the Don Bosco Cristo Rey High School Staff and was excited about teaching upcoming freshman how to become entrepreneurs. The CEDE program allowed me to show students that they could follow God and help bless their community by becoming entrepreneurs. I’m so happy to have had the opportunity to be apart of the CEDE program and so are my students. They were able to build a business plan and pitch their ideas to help their school to actual investors“
