connects learning with earning by rewarding participants who help small businesses, charities, and community organizations grow through

digital visibility, social engagement, and local partnership programs.

show leadership, there are ongoing opportunities for franchise ownership and chapter development within the Local Community Marketplace.

Across North America, there are over 33 million small and mid-sized businesses, employing more than 60% of the workforce and driving

over half of private-sector GDP. Yet, according to succession studies, nearly 50% of these business owners plan to retire within the next 10 years,

creating a historic transfer of opportunity.

This wave of change opens doors for the next generation — young, community-minded leaders who can blend digital skills with local entrepreneurship

to help business owners transition gracefully into retirement while keeping their legacies alive at the same time, every business — from restaurants

and gyms to retailers and local service providers — now depends on high-quality media, social engagement, and digital storytelling to stay relevant.

marketing.

pathway toward career growth, business ownership, and local leadership.
