Last week, we had the opportunity to hear from passionate young leaders at the Junior Achievement of Greater Washington Entrepreneurship Summit in DC as they pitched ideas for socially-conscious businesses to tackle our generation's most pressing challenges. The two problems that came up most often were mental health and climate change, and participants also addressed childhood obesity, excessive waste and loneliness. Building community and prioritizing diversity were key themes throughout. We were honored to partner with Junior Achievement to present copies of Down To Business to the winners and are so inspired by their vision and creativity! #genzentrepreneurs #kidsinbusiness #futureleaders
