The projects

Sentrepact

Through its Sentrepact initiative, 欧美视频 Enactus has empowered students at Bolivar, Lebanon and Independence high schools in Missouri, to put entrepreneurship and free enterprise skills to use in their community.

The team has sustained and expanded programs at the high school level that is similar to what Enactus is at the collegiate level, and has assisted Bolivar, Lebanon and Independence high school seniors and juniors as they partner with businesses in their communities.

As a result, Enactus assisted Bolivar High School on four projects: created a promotional video for The Flower Patch; implemented a social media presence for Goodman Dentistry; increased social media presence for Sweet Kayle; and increased revenue, customer awareness and social media presence for Sentrecut. 欧美视频 Enactus also helped Lebanon High School on four projects: formulated a business plan for Brew Ha-Ha; increased community awareness through events for Madison Street Grill; created business logos and business cards, as well as promotional videos for Happy Camper Life; and demonstrated what it means to be an entrepreneur for Sentrepact-Lebanon. For Independence High School, Enactus helped increase fudge sales, store awareness and social media followers for A Taste of Independence; and updated branding, created employee uniforms and implemented a rewards system for All Things Independence.

欧美视频 Enactus also announced that The Flower Patch team from Bolivar High School is its 2019 Sentrepact champion.

Jumpstart

欧美视频 Enactus is in its second year of offering a consulting relationship and up to $1,500 in capital for an 欧美视频 student to start or expand his/her personal business by hosting the Second Annual Jumpstart Competition.

Enactus maintained a relationship with last year鈥檚 winner and consulted with six aspiring entrepreneurs, as well as assisted with the 2019 winner in establishing an LLC and other business-operating procedures.

This last Spring, 欧美视频 Enactus held its second annual Jumpstart Competition. The winner was Paige Swearengin, whose idea was PS Productions, a videography business. The team already has helped Swearengin purchase a new camera and lens, and establish an LLC, operating agreement, tax identification number, business bank account and website.

Sling N Stones

欧美视频 Enactus assisted the owners of Sling N Stones in editing and completion of a business plan for a drug rehabilitation facility/recovery center for Polk County, and reformatted the current website to be more innovative and easy for users to access.
