I first got involved with the Chamber after my Minority Business Accelerator experience. That has not only led to great business relationships and friendships, but also introduced me to LaunchGVL. Work-based learning is great because I can play a role in equipping our younger generation with knowledge to guide their development. Being involved, giving back and investing in the community has been amazing for myself and my business.

Businesses around Greenville have already started bringing high school interns into their companies, as many have realized current high schoolers will soon be the future for their companies.
