Youth Venture

My name is Justin and I started a youth venture a little while ago with two of my best friends, Jon and Tanner. This began as a school project and eventually became much more than that. Our assignment was to simply find a way to make a difference in our community. So we, just like the rest of our classmates, looked at the project and eventually put it together and presented. This is where we took it a step further than all of our other classmates. Our social studies teacher helped us through the steps of making our project into a youth venture. About a month later we were in front of the united way presenting our venture. Since then it has taken off much faster then we expected. Right when we started to advertise for our landscaping business the phone started ringing. We had a slower summer but things have picked up a lot now that fall has rolled around. When I'm not in school and doing youth venture stuff I'm probably playing soccer. I love to play soccer and have been lucky enough to have won many many championships on an extremely good travel team. I'm a sophmore in high school so I'm Hopeing we can translate those into high school titles as well.
