BRIDGET GILLIS CRUISE

Program Coordinator, PGCPS CTE

"Participating in the Young Entrepreneur Camp was a transformative experience for my students. They gained invaluable skills in business development, leadership, and teamwork that will serve them well in their future endeavors. The camp provided a unique platform for them to explore their creativity and turn their ideas into actionable plans. Watching them collaborate, innovate, and present their projects was truly inspiring. I have no doubt that this experience has not only equipped them with essential entrepreneurial skills but also boosted their confidence and passion for pursuing their dreams."

Tamika Parran

Principal of Catherine T. Reed Elementary

"Today our students had the opportunity of taking part in a session with Coach Carl, they learned a lot about how to become an entrepreneur. It was a great session because the students had a chance to look through some materials, find out what they want to do in life and they were even given information of how they can go about being an entrepreneur when they are adults. The students started thinking now what do , "what I like to do?". What are some things that I probably can change in the future?

So today was definitely a great, great session, we are so great. Glad that we had a coach Carl come and speak to our students and we hope to have them come back and speak to some more in the fall."

3DE Coordinators, Potomac High School

"Carl has been an incredible support for our staff and scholars in implementing 3DE at Potomac. He’s a subject matter expert in business and entrepreneurship—more than that, he’s a full-time entrepreneur who invests wholeheartedly in his community and youth. For the past two years, he’s chosen to do this work at our public high school, and we’re beyond grateful.

As a judge, facilitator of our boot camp workshops, and provider of summer camp services, his contributions have been invaluable. Last year, he even awarded scholarships to our winning students. His support has truly prepared our students for success in entrepreneurship. We’re so thankful for everything he’s done for us."
