Thanks to generous grant support from AT&T, students in our YWCA Kids Place programs will learn about entrepreneurship to become better citizens, out-of-the-box thinkers, and confident leaders. Our Kids Place staff trained under Liz Nusken from the Ohio Afterschool Network to use and implement the WagiLabs curriculum. After learning the curriculum, students will have the opportunity to create their own pitches and participate in our third annual YWCA Kids Place Guppy Tank Pitch Challenge. Watch the video below to learn more about the challenge.
