KIDPRENEURSHIP: New! B.E. for Teens.

Newsletter focuses on black teens

With the mid-March 1999 roll out of Black Enterprise for Teens, the publisher of the nation's premier business magazine for African Americans, BLACK ENTERPRISE, is covering all the bases.

Black Enterprise for Teens, a slick four-color 12-page

newsletter, will be targeted to 13- to 18-year-olds. It will offer articles about teenagers who run their own businesses and excel in areas such as the arts, education and sports. In addition, there will be celebrity interviews, money management tips, resources and much more to educate and inspire young people as they become more independent, progressive and responsible.

In 1998, BE revamped its children's publication, KidpreneursNews--a newsletter designed to teach the basics of entrepreneurship to a younger audience, ages eight to 12.

The two publications fall under the banner of the Kidpreneurs Program, which includes the upcoming Fourth Annual Kidpreneurs Konference, May 5-9, at Walt Disney World's Contemporary Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

"To ensure that the newsletters maintain a fresh focus, we plan to get input on a continual basis from parents and their children ages eight to 18," says Melvin Crenshaw, manager of the Kidpreneurs Program.
