21st Century Entrepreneurship Act

The 21st Century Entrepreneurship Act directs the Small Business Administration to develop and implement an entrepreneurship curriculum for students in community learning centers, primarily targeting youth from disadvantaged communities. The bill requires the SBA to work with the SCORE program, which consists of retired business executives, to create teaching materials and train volunteers to deliver this curriculum in partnership with education specialists and other business groups. Additionally, the legislation amends existing laws to formally include entrepreneurship education in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and mandates that the SBA submit biennial reports to Congress on program implementation, funding usage, and student outreach.
