Just blocks from Wall Street, a group of city teens are getting a chance to run their own business.
The non-profit organization Teen Entrepreneur Boot Camp is giving kids first hand experience in running a business.
The Caf-Easy coffee house is open through Friday on Fulton Street in Lower Manhattan.
Organizers say the teens worked hard over the last two weeks to learn the in's and out's of how to open a business.
"We used the espresso bar model as the business model for them to follow and within the first two days, they come up with their own name, their own logo, they write their own press release," said Teen Entrepreneur Boot Camp creator Pam Chimel.
"We put a lot of hard work into it and now it's finally coming together and it's nice to see a finished product," said boot camp attendee Sarah Boyd.
There are still open spots for other teens in the next two sessions of the boot camp. For more information, visit teenentrepreneurbootcamp.org.
