About the Workshop

The world our teens are growing into is changing fast. Confidence, communication, and the ability to think independently matter more than ever; yet these skills are rarely taught explicitly in school.

In this free, in-person Parent–Teen workshop, we explore how entrepreneurship becomes a powerful vehicle for helping teens develop:

• Confidence in expressing their ideas

• Clear, persuasive communication with adults and peers

• Real-world problem-solving and initiative

• Comfort with feedback, iteration, and public speaking

This session will be interactive and practical.

What Parents & Teens Will Experience

Together, parents and teens will:

• See real examples of teen-led projects and pitches

• Learn why confidence is built through doing, not motivation

• Practice simple communication frameworks used by young entrepreneurs

• Understand how entrepreneurial thinking supports academic, career, and life success

Parents will walk away with a clearer understanding of how teens actually learn confidence and communication. Teens will experience what it feels like to think, speak, and be taken seriously.

Who This Workshop Is For

• Parents of middle and high school students

• Teens who are curious, creative, or hesitant to speak up

• Families interested in entrepreneurship, leadership, or communication skills

• Anyone exploring ways to help teens build real-world readiness

No prior experience with business or entrepreneurship is required.

About the Host

This workshop is hosted by Launchpad Juniors, an 8-week entrepreneurship and communication program where teens build real products, talk to real customers, and present their ideas to judges in a final pitch showcase.

The session draws directly from real student journeys and outcomes - not theory.

This workshop is free and open to parents and teens.

Space is limited. RSVP to save your spot.
