SUMMARY:EnTEENpreneur Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Inspiring the entrepreneurs of tomorrow\n\nWhen: Tuesday\, April 28\, 2026\nWhere: UMass Amherst Henry M. Thomas III Center at Springfield\nTime: 9:00 AM ET \n\n\nThe EnTEENpreneur Challenge is essentially\, a pitch contest similar in format to one seen on a reality TV show about entrepreneurship. Leading up to the event\, students use the JA Company Program and the JA Be Entrepreneurial Program to learn valuable skills and build the mindset to be a resourceful\, innovative entrepreneur. \nEntrepreneurs and JA partners from the community make up the judging panel\, and students have 90 seconds to convince the panel to fund their company. The judging panel determines 1st\, 2nd and 3rd place winners by numerical score based on a rubric that is available upon request. The top three teams receive cash prizes in the following amounts: \n1st place wins $500 ($100 per person\, assuming a team of five students)\n2nd place wins $375 ($75 per person\, assuming a team of five students)\n3rd place wins $250 ($50 per person\, assuming a team of five students) \nStudents do not need a ready-for-sale product to participate in the challenge. Students who opt to create a product can participate in a trade show in Tower Square. Awards are given for the “Best Trade Booth” and “Most Innovative Product” as voted on by the panel and by all student participants in the event. \nIn addition\, the winning student teams are eligible to submit their plans to the JA USA Future Bound competition held annually. In 2026\, the competition will be hosted in Boston\, MA. If a Western Massachusetts student team is selected\, JAWM helps prepare the team for competition and covers expenses.

SUMMARY:Savvy Caregiver
DESCRIPTION:Savvy Caregiver® is a class for family and friends caring for someone living with memory loss or Alzheimer’s disease. \nFor most family caregivers\, caregiving is a new role and one for which training is needed-just as you would receive training for any new job. The Savvy Caregiver® Program helps caregivers better understand the changes their loved ones are experiencing\, and how to best provide individualized care for them throughout the progression of Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. Participants will learn how to feel better about their caregiver role and how to care for themselves. The Savvy Caregiver® Program was developed by experts in caregiving techniques and goes beyond introductory educational offerings to provide clinical-level training for family caregivers. \n\nSpring 2026: Mondays fromMay 4-June 15\, 10 am-12 pm In-person at Holyoke Senior Center
