Empowering High School Entrepreneurs

“My name is Grace Leftwich and I own Window Washing by Grace, which won first place prize in 2023. YES Surry was a great experience. I learned so much about creating a financial and business plan, which has helped my business excel greatly. I used the winnings to purchase new equipment, pushing me into bigger and better jobs. I would encourage anyone who wants to start a business or has their own already to participate in the YES Surry competition.”
