PeelGood Fruit Helps Teens Find Their Inner Entrepreneur

Online, September 30, 2010 (Newswire.com) - PeelGood Fruit is fulfilling its social commitment to deliver entrepreneurial opportunities to teens through its Teen Entrepreneurship Program ("TEP"), launching October 1, 2010 in Metro Atlanta. The TEP empowers adolescents by teaching them invaluable life skills and entrepreneurial skill sets that will live with them throughout their lives and careers.

Through the TEP initiative, students will learn to evaluate an idea or business model, draft and execute a business plan, and ultimately help create jobs for their peers.

PeelGood Fruit is engaging parents in the metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia region through the month of October who are interested in having their teen participate. Interested parents, teens, or their teachers can contact PeelGood Fruit for details on the program at TEP@peelgoodfruit.com. Candidates will have to submit a typed essay (2 pages maximum) expressing their interest in TEP by December 31, 2010.

A total of 30 students will be selected by January 14, 2011, with training and operations to begin February 2011. "Our goal is to give teens the skills to create a solid financial future for themselves at an early age," says PeelGood Fruit's Jason Bass.

"The kids are engaged in real business operations; they learn and apply valuable lifelong entrepreneurial lessons, while earning extra money to boot. We encourage them to save a percentage of all earnings in a personal college fund."

Customers who purchase PeelGood Fruit products will know that they are supporting a brand and a cause that is committed to developing a self-sustaining future in America.
