Youth Entrepreneurship: Building Baltimore’s Future

In Baltimore, young people are finding ways to create their own
economic opportunities through entrepreneurship. Dr. Ron Williams
(Coppin State University) and Sara Cooper (The Annie E. Casey
Foundation) join us to dig into research about youth
entrepreneurship in Baltimore and show how community
collaborations  like the Baltimore-based Excellence in
Entrepreneurial Learning (EXCEL) Research Project are creating
pathways to success. This conversation kicks off our three-part
series about helping young people thrive economically within safe
communities. We'll explore how, with the right support, these
young entrepreneurs are reshaping Baltimore's future.
