21st Century Entrepreneurship Act

The 21st Century Entrepreneurship Act requires the Small Business Administration (SBA) to develop a curriculum for SCORE program volunteers to teach entrepreneurship to students at community learning centers, specifically targeting disadvantaged youth. It mandates collaboration with education specialists, business groups, and existing SBA programs like small business development centers and women’s business centers. The bill updates the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to include entrepreneurship education as a standard program at community learning centers, directly affecting students in underserved communities. It also requires the SBA to report annually on implementation progress, curriculum reach, and barriers to expansion.
