THE BOBCAT DEN A program to help Montana 4-H Youth develop their entrepreneurial skills A statewide pilot 4-H project targeting entrepreneurial skill development. Research has shown that youth who engage, experiment & develop their entrepreneurial skills and attitudes become the future innovators, the social providers of new solutions and the builders of financial strength. This project is designed under the umbrella of the Self Determined project. Members will form a cohort of other interested members across the state to learn entrepreneurship beginning with a business plan, moving on to production and developing a marketing strategy. Members will meet at various locations around the state at least four times during the year where they will form relationships among themselves, meet with local business mentors, tour local small businesses and learn the basics of entrepreneurship. Members must be 13 years of age and older, be willing and able to travel to the workshops and be committed to setting and accomplishing goals. The goal of this project is for members to be empowered to move their business vision to the next level of success.
