THE MADISON COUNTY (GA) JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 2025 - PAGE 7A Chamber continued from 1A about Georgia Grown Trail 98 to contact them. FLEX In 2024, the chamber also started its own Foundational Leadership and Entrepreneurship Experience (FLEX) program. This is an entrepreneurship pro gram for high school students that engages them in the business world through experiences and mentor ships. Students in FLEX create real businesses, provide real products and services and make real money. Local business partners, along with community leaders and teach ers invest in the program through teaching workshops and mentoring student entrepreneurs. Students compete in three rounds of competition until a local winner is selected. Local FLEX champs then move on to the state-wide com petition. Madison County was able to be come one of the first in the region to have its own FLEX program, thanks largely to a $15K donation from Georgia Power and a $5K donation from SunTrust. There are currently seven Madison County High School students partic ipating in the inaugural program. “Much like Georgia Grown Trail 98 was rooted in a Chamber com mittee, MADICO FLEX originated out of the Chamber’s Workforce Development and Education Com mittee when school system leader ship and local business and industry partners identified a need to foster student entrepreneurship in Madi son County,” chamber leaders said. “This initiative is gaining traction in our community thanks to the tireless capacity building efforts by Madison County High School and the Broad River College and Career Academy as they prepare high school students for the workforce.” Those who would like to engage as a mentor or program supporter are encouraged to contact the cham ber.
