Singleton Foundation Announces Partnership with Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization
The Singleton Foundation for Financial Literacy & Entrepreneurship announced a partnership with Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization (CEO) to promote the entrepreneurial spirit on college campuses around the world, according to a recent press release. The strategic partnership will help further the missions of both organizations as they approach entrepreneurship and financial literacy in unique ways.
The Singleton Foundation uses the power of entertainment in its Million Stories Media and Venture Valley Game projects to make financial competence fun and engaging for all while promoting entrepreneurship and inspiring individual accomplishments.
Million Stories is a new, free digital lifestyle and entertainment channel that offers a wide variety of original programming with a focus on career, money, and inspiring stories of entrepreneurs.
Venture Valley is a free engaging multiplayer game that allows users to start their own business and then grow it into a virtual empire, with the opportunity to win real-world prizes. As users compete against each other for in-game rankings and online competitions, they benefit by gaining business and financial skills that will help them in their real lives.
The global network of Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization represents 250 universities and college chapters domestically as well as chapters located around the world. These chapters represent 16,000 collegiate entrepreneurs each possessing an innovative mindset. The mission of CEO is to inform, support and inspire college students to be more entrepreneurial by way of creating new ventures.
“Encouraging entrepreneurship is a crucial part of the Singleton Foundation’s mission,” said Singleton’s CEO Shelley Miles. “We’re proud to be working with The Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization. We fully embrace their mission and look forward to helping their students acquire the skills necessary to reach their goals and become the CEO’s of their lives.”
The Singleton Foundation is sponsoring the CEO’s newly designed Resource Portal, ensuring that students and campuses will have the resources they need to be entrepreneurial. In addition, the foundation offers financial learning resources, available at www.c-e-o.org, to help them manage their businesses and financial futures with confidence.
Through the partnership, CEO members will have the opportunity to act as Singleton Ambassadors and will amplify the original content created by the foundation. By engaging students in the Million Stories video content, ambassadors will motivate others to develop entrepreneurial ambitions and become comfortable discussing financial responsibilities. CEO students will also help test the Venture Valley game and play in online multiplayer competitions throughout the summer.
