Goals and Benefits:

Youth Development: Participating teens gain hands-on experience in running a business, fostering growth into capable entrepreneurs. Each teen is required to participate in two fundraising events annually, introducing them to various facets of the entrepreneurial world and helping them identify their industry of interest.
Adult Entrepreneurship: The event series serves as a networking hub for adult entrepreneurs, offering access to vital resources and opportunities to engage with like-minded professionals, enhancing their business success.

Teens Corner Cafe is a non-profit program specifically designed for teens aged 16 and 17. We have initiated this program to offer employment opportunities to 10 teenagers in need. This is a paid opportunity aimed at teaching teens the basics of business operations and commercial kitchen management, starting from how to handle a job interview.

Our goal is to make a positive impact in our community by guiding these young individuals. This opportunity is a stepping stone for them to potentially become entrepreneurs after graduating from high school. We aim to equip them with the necessary skills to achieve this.

We will be conducting interviews on June 19th from 12 PM to 2 PM. It is important that candidates dress in professional attire, as we want to instill a sense of professionalism and teach proper etiquette, despite not being in a typical professional environment.

Initially, our teens will learn to prepare a simple menu that includes burgers, chicken tenders, hot dogs with fries, and strawberry or chocolate milkshakes. This will help them grasp the basics of cooking.

Notification of acceptance will be given by phone call on Friday, June 28th. The program starts on Monday, July 8th. Each intern will initially work 2 days per week, with each shift lasting 4 hours. This schedule allows all participants an equal opportunity to learn and grow. Compensation is based on sales performance; the more you sell, the more you earn. Once a teen reaches $10,000 in sales, they will graduate from the program, making room for new candidates.

We rely on community donations to sustain this program and plan several fundraising events to ensure its success. Each candidate is required to participate in at least 2 fundraising events per year.

This September we will have our 1st Marriage Panel!!! I’m looking forward to talking about love and helping others find love!!!

I am looking for 5 married couples who have been married over 10 + years to be a part of a Q & A Panel about what it takes to get married and stay married!!! Please tag your favorite couple?!

Are you a teen between the ages of 13-17 looking to dive into the exciting world of party planning? Learn the ropes from industry pros in photography, DJing, videography, graphic design, and mastering the 360 photo-booth. Join our 12-week program and not only will you gain invaluable skills, but you'll also earn 24 hours of community service. This is a fantastic chance for students to earn extra cash during high school and college, and who knows? It might even turn into a steady source of income or spark a career in event planning down the line.Here's the deal: after completing the program, we'll host our very first big high school bash to showcase your new skills. But hurry, we can only accommodate 15 students – it's a first-come, first-served opportunity. Just a heads up, if you miss more than two sessions, you'll be dropped from the program and will only get credit for the hours you've put in.Interested? Reach out to Mrs. Kay, the Executive Director of Black Corner Investments Inc., to sign up. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to kickstart your journey into the event planning world!

I asked God to remove the people who weren’t for me and introduce me to who is for me. And this is what he did! This is my family and my new friends and I am so happy to have met each and every one of them. But none of this would have been possible without Jackie Downing and The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven!!! We at Black Corner Investments Inc thanks you for all that you do! The most amazing experience I’ve ever had. Overwhelmingly amazing!!! This room is full of POWERFUL people making changes in this world! I salute each and every one of you!

“A lie doesn’t become truth, wrong doesn’t become right, and evil doesn’t become good, just because it’s accepted by a majority,” is a powerful reminder that truth and justice should not be determined by popular opinion or majority rule.
