The aim is to help empower the next generation of business leaders to navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship and realize their full potential.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">On August 22, 2023, Youth Ventures celebrated its 26th Annual Provincial Awards at the St. John\u2019s Farmers Market. The Awards is a celebration of entrepreneurial excellence, youth innovation and strong business acumen where outstanding entrepreneurs who have demonstrated tremendous achievements were recognized through the afternoon in the areas of customer service, marketing, arts &amp; tourism, financial management, community impact, innovation, and leadership.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">The event featured the presentation of the awards and a small business showcase where the award winners could display their products and services to attendees. Approximately 120 people attended the Awards event including the Honourable Dr. Andrew Furey, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, who brought greetings on behalf of the province.<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><b>This year, ten awards were given out in the following award categories: <\/b><\/p><p class=\"p1\">Venture of the Year, Excellence in Marketing, Excellence in Arts &amp; Tourism, Trailblazer of the Year, Outstanding Venture (17 &amp; under), Excellence in Customer Service, Excellence in Financial Management, Community Impact as well as a Star Coordinator and Mentor of the Year award.<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><b>Community Impact, sponsored by the St. John\u2019s Farmers\u2019 Market: <\/b>Jayden Reid \u2013 J.R.s Cupcakes, participant of CBDC Central<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><b>Excellence in Financial Management, sponsored by the Newfoundland &amp; Labrador Credit Union: <br \/><\/b>Preston Clarke \u2013 Precision Ground Care, participant of CBDC Celtic<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><b>Trailblazer of the Year, sponsored by iDesign Ltd.: <\/b>Charlotte Fillier \u2013 Charlotte\u2019s Critter Care, participant of CBDC Nortip<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><b>Excellence in Marketing, sponsored by Islandwide Promotions: <\/b>Samantha Thorne \u2013 Heart + Home Design Co., participant of CBDC Celtic<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><b>Excellence in Arts &amp; Tourism, sponsored by Hospitality Newfoundland &amp; Labrador: <br \/><\/b>Kosuke Toba \u2013 Ugly Stix, participant of CBDC Humber<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><b>Excellence in Customer Service, sponsored by Jungle Jims Eatery<\/b>: Emily Coombs \u2013 The Nail Room, participant of CBDC Emerald<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><b>Outstanding Venture (17 years &amp; under), sponsored by Newfoundland Power<\/b>:<br \/>Emma and Katie Foss \u2013 Emma &amp; Katie\u2019s Candy Shop, participant of CBDC Cabot<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><b>Venture of the Year, sponsored by CBDC<\/b>:<br \/>Abrahim Derradjii-Aouat \u2013 Shoreside Soaporium, participant of Empower, the Disability Resource Center<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><b>Mentor of the Year, sponsored by MusicNL<\/b>:<br \/>Krysta Carroll, Mentor at CBDC Central<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><b>Star Coordinator: <\/b>Caleb Mercer, Coordinator at CBDC Trinity Conception<\/p><p class=\"p2\"><em>&#8220;Education is the key to unlocking the power of dreams, Youth Ventures provides a unique opportunity for the next generation of our province\u2019s entrepreneurs to dream big, exercise creativity, develop an idea and explore it as a business opportunity.

As these individuals mature beyond the program, seek business expansion, or need ongoing support beyond the summer season, they can rely on the assistance of the 15 CBDCs in Newfoundland and Labrador to provide the necessary support to help them thrive.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-212fa525 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"212fa525\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4bd90173 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4bd90173\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70b29e39 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"70b29e39\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">\u201cIn its 31 years of operation,\nYouth Ventures has helped\n7,982 budding entrepreneurs\nstart 4,891 businesses by providing\nadvice on idea development,\nbusiness planning, marketing\ndirection and financial advice.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f207ce2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6f207ce2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p2\">HONOURABLE DR.
