Richland Public Library Hosts Youth Business Camp

Every year the Richland Public Library in Columbia, South Carolina, hosts the Youth Business Camp.

This free camp is open to rising 6th-12th graders who have an interest in entrepreneurship, business and finance. The workshop is a partnership between Palmetto Citizens Federal Credit Union and Professor Paul Smith of Newberry College. 

Smith encourages participants to build upon their own strengths, interests and talents through engaging in hands-on learning through performing market research, learning about the financial decisions that go into pricing and running a business, learning about giving back and philanthropy, and many other lessons.
