The Achievement Pitch (TAP) is a student-based, social enterprise pitch
competition designed to address social and environmental challenges in communities of
color while encouraging and advancing entrepreneurship among high school
students.
TAP seeks to demonstrate that profits and
purpose are not mutually exclusive and can go hand-in-hand. TAP also allows participants to practice, hone, and refine their
pitch/presentation skills which are valuable for future business purposes.
