Business Partner Challenge #1:
How do we increase foot traffic to Washington Square?
Our experience . . .
"It was very inspiring to watch young people actively participate in helping to make our community a better place to live, work, and play. To see this creative process unfold was very exciting and mentoring and connecting with the youth in our community was also very rewarding. I would encourage every local business to embrace the opportunity to enhance their workplace through this program!" - G. Thelan, Business Ambassador
"Washington Square is about the people." ~ Benji, Business Owner
"Through Future Prep'd, I learned not only how to craft solutions for problems, but also the mechanisms by which those solutions will be implemented." ~ Dylan, HS Student
