Jr. CEO

The Jr. CEO program starts on Wednesday, February 11, 2026! Join us for the FREE kick-off meeting for parents via Zoom on February 11th at 6PM, which will go over the program and include Q&As.

Jr. CEO is a six-week digital business education course that teaches kids the basics of starting their own business, offered by the Atascadero Chamber of Commerce. The program has been developed with the theme of how to open a lemonade stand-style business. At the end of the program, students will open their lemonade stand (or another concept that they created) during “Jr. CEO Business Day.”
