What is FLEX?
FLEX was created with one goal in mind – to spark an entrepreneurial spirit in students. Program developers knew that with the right mix of sacrifices and rewards, students would learn to launch successful small businesses of their own that would eventually lead to a more vibrant, robust economy for the local community.
Students compete in three rounds of competition with the final round including a “Shark Tank” style presentation given before a final winner is announced. The rules of the competition are simple, and the prizes are big – up to [insert 1st place prize $] for the winning team – making this competition fun and competitive for all teams that enter.
The competition culminates in a Statewide competition where local winners compete for the FLEX State Champion title. Our community is proud to partner with FLEX to give our students the opportunity to build a better future for themselves, and our local economy!
Reason #1 why Georgia FLEX is a tremendous asset to our community:
Empowering Future Leaders:
By nurturing leadership skills, Georgia FLEX helps create a new generation of confident, capable leaders who can drive positive change right here in our community!
FLEX provides students with hands-on experience that equips them with the knowledge, tools, and mindset needed to thrive in the ever-evolving world of business and leadership.
We are currently in round two of the competition. In this round, the top 10 student owned businesses will receive a seed loan to get their business off the ground! They will operate their business for 8-12 weeks while participating in workshops to provide them with tools to help them succeed in their venture! At the end of this round, three companies will be selected to move on after students give a private “business pitch” to a panel of judges.

FLEX is an innovative program designed to empower local youth with foundational leadership and entrepreneurship skills. It’s a hands-on experience that equips our young talents with the knowledge, tools, and mindset needed to thrive in the ever-evolving world of business.
We are currently in round three of the competition. In this round, the top 3 student owned businesses from each community use feedback from Round 2 judges to make improvements to their businesses. Students hone their public speaking skills during this round by giving their pitch at community meetings and events. Student entrepreneurs also focus on business finance and their growth plan during this round. All of this hard work is done in order to prepare for their local Finals competition!
Let’s get down to business!
It’s almost time for our first FLEX Workshop! Participating students will attend a workshop hosted by [insert the sponsor and/or leader teaching the workshop] to learn how to further develop their business ideas by creating a business plan. Students will learn that this step is necessary to be able to communicate their company’s structure and goals to investors, lenders and potential partners. They will analyze their market and competitors, outline how the company will be organized and managed, describe their products or services, come up with a marketing and sales strategy and explain how they plan to turn a possible investment into revenue.
Our students are doing big things that could have a lasting impact on our community. If you’re interested in learning more about FLEX and how you can help support our students, reach out to [insert contact information] today!
