Jack Bonneau would love to speak at your school about Following Your Dreams.  Jack Bonneau is the founder and CEO of Jack’s Stands & Marketplaces.  He is 12 years old attending 8th grade at STEM Lab.  Jack provides kids the opportunity to operate drink stands and marketplaces in safe, populated retail locations in order to experience and learn about entrepreneurship, business, and financial literacy and to develop social and life skills -- all while earning money and having fun!  Jack has shared his story with thousands of kids at schools and at events across the nation and has been featured in the New York Times, on the Today Show, on Fox & Friends, at the Aspen Ideas Festival, and on ABC’s Shark Tank where he was the youngest boy to receive a deal at 10 years old. Jack recently gave his first TEDx talk titled "Kids Can Be Role Models.”  Jack is a member of the National Junior Honor Society and was the 2017 recipient of the CAGT Distinguished Student of the Year.  If you would like more information about having Jack speak at your student's school, please email  sbonneau@gmail.com .
