Rahway Education Association
Union County educator Dr. Jenel Anderson from the Rahway School District was awarded a $1,416 grant entitled The Builder’s Club: Building Businesses, Shaping Futures. This is an entrepreneurship enrichment program for middle school students in grades 7-8 at Rahway Academy, a Title I school. The project provides motivated students with hands-on opportunities to explore entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and creative problem solving through a structured after-school club. Students develop original business ideas, create mini business plans, design marketing materials, manage budgets, and practice pitching their concepts. The program culminates in a school-based Mini Market Day where students present and sell products or services. The project builds confidence, leadership skills, and real-world readiness while expanding equitable access to entrepreneurial learning.
