The Rotary Club of Old Fort hosted “The Rotary Incubator,” a transformative program that connected Junior Achievement (JA) members with top industry leaders to foster business knowledge, leadership skills, and community impact. This initiative aligned with Rotary’s October theme of Community Economic Development and supported JA Bahamas’ mission to “inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy.” Over two weeks, 55 JA members engaged in mentorship sessions with Rotarians and Bahamian business leaders, developed business ideas, and divided into 5 teams to compete in a pitch competition designed to empower youth and strengthen local economic growth and community development. The winning team was awarded with a cash prize and RCOF also donated funds to assist the JA members in their future entrepreneurial initiatives.
