Entrepreneurship Process:
1. First, visit the following websites and explore the various types of community service projects available.
2. Then, use the handouts linked below each resource, that includes guiding questions, to assist your focus.
3. Next, take notes with the guiding questions handout and then share with your team what you have learned from each
resource.
4. Finally, decide if the Avilla store project remains the project of choice or if there is another project that your group
believes is a better fit for our community. Use the Entrepreneurship Overview and Pros, Cons, & Concerns Document to help
your team analyze your project's potential.
