The Maryland Youth Business Fair

Welcome to The Annual Maryland Youth Business Fair, hosted in Bethesda, MD! This is the ultimate platform for young entrepreneurs to showcase their skills and unleash their potential. We believe that entrepreneurship is not just about starting a business, but it's a journey of self-discovery and personal growth.

At The Annual Maryland Youth Business Fair, we provide a unique opportunity for NextGen youth entrepreneurs, aged 6-18 (K-12th grade), to establish and/or operate their own businesses. This event is designed to empower young minds and nurture their entrepreneurial spirit.

Why participate in The Annual Maryland Youth Business Fair? It's not just about making money or winning prizes. It's about so much more. By participating in this fair, young entrepreneurs have the chance to practice essential skills that will benefit them throughout their lives.

Leadership, delegation, collaboration, discipline, work ethic, time management, project management, financial literacy, marketing, sales, goal-setting, and creativity are just a few of the skills that participants will develop and enhance. These skills are the building blocks of success, and by engaging in entrepreneurship at a young age, participants gain a head start in their personal and professional lives.

But it's not just about the skills. The Annual Maryland Youth Business Fair is also a place where young entrepreneurs can connect with like-minded peers. Building relationships with other aspiring entrepreneurs creates a supportive and inspiring community that will continue to motivate and encourage them on their journey.

We believe that every young person has the potential to be an entrepreneur. The Annual Maryland Youth Business Fair is here to provide the initiative and platform for youth to learn, develop, and exhibit their entrepreneurial skills. We are committed to fostering a culture of innovation, creativity, and resilience.

So, if you're a young entrepreneur with big dreams and a passion for making a difference, join us!  Unleash your potential, showcase your skills, and be a part of a community that believes in the power of principled youth entrepreneurship.
