Teen-Friendly Businesses Action Group

In 2011, teens conducted research through a youth-friendly business survey they designed to identify which businesses would hire minors and which ones use youth-friendly business policies and practices.  The teens also designed a database that catalogs which businesses hire teens as a public service to local youth.  High school students met weekly with an adult mentor and business owner, and created an application for youth-friendly business certification.  They piloted it with ten downtown businesses. 
*Growing Up Boulder (GUB) is Boulder's child-friendly city initiative.
