Kaylee Stavlas, Miss North Carolina Teen USA, has been inspiring students across North Carolina with her message of servant leadership and social impact entrepreneurship. She’s been visiting elementary and middle schools, reading her children's book, You Can Change the World, and guiding students through the exciting journey of starting their own businesses.
Kaylee isn’t just teaching entrepreneurship—she’s showing students how they can make a real difference in their communities, no matter their age. Through these interactive lessons, students are preparing for the NEX GEN CEO Student Business Fair, where they get the opportunity to showcase their ideas and innovations.
The fair, first launched in Smithfield in 2023, was celebrated with a mayor-sanctioned Next Generation Entrepreneurship Day, and saw 17 students from 15 schools across the state pitch their businesses to a panel of judges, including business leaders and the Chair of the Board of Education. Scholarships were awarded to top social impact and entrepreneurial ventures.
