Youth Social Enterprise Showcase and Awards
The focus of this event is on youth. There will be a mini tradeshow highlighting some local NGOs, social enterprises and youth groups. Participants will be able to meet with them and find out more about their activities and programs. This event will also include the presentation of the Youth Social Entrepreneur awards and the Lizards' Den Competition.
The Lizards Den will be a spotlight during the CCSR Conference. Child and Youth Friendly Ottawa (CAYFO) will organise the Lizards' Den" contest, a challenge that will give eight young entrepreneurs an opportunity to showcase their social enterprises to a panel of "lizards". Whether exclusively not-for-profit or a for-profit business with a social enterprise focus, participants must pitch the initiative, highlight accomplishments, goals to measure success and why their initiative deserves to win. The Lizards will give feedback, ask questions and eventually determine the winning enterprise. Those that are not chosen to participate in the Lizards Den will have the opportunity to showcase their initiative in a youth tradeshow that will be going on as well throughout the afternoon. The trade show will be set up throughout the conference centre where attendees and visitors are able to engage and learn with the presenting entrepreneurs. The event will be filled with amazing youth and their social enterprises, come show your support, attendance is free!
