Abstrakt: This paper documents an entrepreneurship club designed for a community charter school after-school program. Hosted by a college entrepreneurship program, participants in the club were 12 fifth- and sixth-graders who met seven afternoons for three hours. The centerpiece for the entrepreneurship training was the introduction to entrepreneurship through the process of creating a comic book. Guest entrepreneurs from the local community reinforced the entrepreneurship training. The paper evaluates the effects of the entrepreneurship club on attitudes toward business, self-esteem, and knowledge of business and entrepreneurship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
