As Seen On Fox! How Katelyn Got Started!

Recently one of our successful Squaddies, Katelyn, from Harrisburg, PA was interviewed with her Mom, Tracy Scipioni,, on their local Fox station! Tracy tells how she and her husband bought a Young CEO Squad kit for Katelyn and it taught her "everything she needed to know." This is such a proud moment for us to see one of our Squaddies become such a success!

We've kept in touch with Katelyn and Tracy through the years! Here's Katelyn on the news and a "before" from when she was starting out!

Katelyn and her Mom opened a business together,  Roots to Wings Studio and Designs in Bricker Village, Pennsylvania, a unique concept where you can purchase local artisan items and take classes.

The segment on Fox Morning News highlighted the event from this past weekend, their 3rd Young Makers Market. Creators, entertainers and entrepreneurs ages 17 and younger were invited to showcase and sell their products. Over 20 young makers attended and the Scipioni's plan to keep the events going.

"It has been really awesome to see how everything has come together," Katelyn Scipioni, Tracy's daughter and a young entrepreneur/artisan featured in the shop, said.

"To see how far it's reached and to see that people appreciate my artwork and that people in other states are wearing it is just truly amazing to see that," she added.

Young CEO Squad is so proud to have been part of this journey!
