We had an incredible week during Lead & Launch 2026!🚀
Over five days, 13 high school students from across the region learned how entrepreneurs identify problems, test ideas, build brands, create prototypes, tell compelling stories, and pitch solutions that matter. And most importantly, they learned one of entrepreneurship's biggest lessons: Don't build what you want, build what people want.
Through hands-on activities, team challenges, mentor feedback, and real-world examples from local business leaders, students discovered how great businesses start by solving real problems for real people.
A special thank you to our co-hosts, Delta Community College and the Lincoln Parish Chamber of Commerce, for helping make this experience possible. We are also grateful to the many speakers, mentors, volunteers, and sponsors who invested their time and talents into these students!🙌
