2025 Application YEP

YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS' PROGRAM
The Young Entrepreneurs' Program is designed for aspiring business owners under the age of 18 who are interested in bringing their handmade products to the Callingwood Farmers’ Market. The purpose of this program is to encourage ingenuity and entrepreneurship among young people and offer them a place from which to start growing their Alberta-based business.

Participants must:
- Be under the age of 18 and reside in Alberta
- Personally make the products they wish to sell (please note, we are not accepting food products at this time)
- Purchase liability insurance which costs approx. $15/day (see below)
Participants will receive:
- An 8 x 5’ space in a covered, youth-centred area (tents are not required, but vendors must still dress for the weather)
- The opportunity to get their products in front of approximately 3500 customers per market
- Experience talking with customers about their business
- Exposure through the market’s social media pages (see below)
- The chance to generate sales, earn money and grow their business
Program costs:

In the spirit of encouraging young people to get involved, we are not charging a fee to take part in this program (the regular fee for vendors is $50/market).

Participants are required to have their own liability insurance which is available at an approximate rate of $15 per market through Duuo Insurance. The Market Manager must receive a copy of the insurance upon acceptance.

Selling at the market:
- Bring your own table (maximum 8’) and chairs
- Have a POS system and/or bring a cash float to make change for customers
- Plan how to display products in a visually appealing way
- Think about signage and marketing material, if needed
- Choose dates that work for your schedule and show up (space is limited, so vendors who don't show up take space away from other businesses)
- Make time to be at the market for the entire duration from 10am-3pm (vendors cannot leave early)
- Read the market rules which will be emailed the Friday before every market
