The document proposes an after-school program called "Teaching Possibility" that brings local entrepreneurs into high schools in Melrose to mentor students and nurture their business ideas. The program would consist of 3 parts: 1) educating students about entrepreneurship, 2) providing resources for developing business ideas, and 3) sponsoring a competition to select the best ideas to receive further support. The goal is to give students skills and guidance to develop their concepts into formal business models that could be presented to incubators. Local business owners would serve as mentors, storytellers, and advocates for the students' ideas. The school would host the program and help publicize students' work.

- 1. Public & Collaborative NYC presents Teaching Possibility supporting business ideas of youth from start to finish Christopher Patten on [ Social Entrepreneurship ]
- 2. Problems and Opportunities In Melrose, high-school students have limited opportunities to after school programs, libraries, or other learning services. How might we design an after-school curriculum that brings local entrepreneurs into the classroom to share their experiences?
- 3. Case Study
- 4. Service Idea Local entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, and experienced business people from Melrose engage in an after school curriculum that consists of three parts: 1) bring about an awareness of entrepreneurship in general, so that business ideas with potential are recognized and 2) give students an awareness of where to turn for the support needed to take the next step in the venture creative process. 3) sponsor a competition that selects the best idea or ideas and takes them to the next level or development (funding).
- 5. How It Works
- 6. Expected Outcomes Teaching Possibility brings together local entrepreneurs and students to nurture the business ideas of young people, but also to give them the knowledge and skillset to take their ideas from concept to a professional, revised business model that can be presented to business incubators and other entities that exist to take these ideas to the next level.
