21st Century Entrepreneurship Act

The 21st Century Entrepreneurship Act directs the Small Business Administration to develop a curriculum for SCORE program volunteers to teach entrepreneurship and inventorship (creating new products/services) to female students, minority students, English learners, children with disabilities, and low-income students at community learning centers. It requires partnerships between SCORE and these centers, amends the Small Business Act to include entrepreneurship programs under SCORE, and updates the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to include these programs. The bill authorizes $2.5 million annually (2023-2027) for implementation, with funds transferable to SCORE, and mandates annual reports to Congress tracking partnerships, student reach, and program effectiveness. It directly affects disadvantaged youth in community learning centers and the SCORE program's volunteer activities.
