Enterprise Development
| Oakdale Neighbors will work with neighborhood residents and others to develop business plans and seek resources for starting a business. BizNiz is an entrepreneurship class than equips youth and others to start and run their own businesses. The program is based on material and curricula from Entrenuity, Making Cents International, and Generation E Institute. The program can be organized as an in-school or after-school experience, a 30-hour evening class, or a one-week summer camp. This fast-paced experience includes learning activities, business simulation games, exercises, computer simulations, field trips and more. By the end of the class, participants will have a business plan to be used to launch a business. Research has shown that entrepreneurship education can be beneficial for youth even if they do not start a business. Businesses located in the Oakdale neighborhood or Boston Square Business District are urged to access resources available through Neighborhood Ventures.
