21st Century Entrepreneurship Act

S. 4133, the 21st Century Entrepreneurship Act, would direct the Small Business Administration to develop an entrepreneurship curriculum and encourage volunteers from the Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE) to partner with 21st Century Community Learning Centers to provide training and mentorship. These community learning centers serve students during non-school hours and would focus on reaching underrepresented groups including female students, minority students, English language learners, and children with disabilities. The bill would also amend the Small Business Act and Elementary and Secondary Education Act to ensure these partnerships align with the missions of both agencies. If enacted, the legislation could provide young people with access to experienced business mentors and entrepreneurship education to help them develop business ideas and learn how to start and grow companies.
