Seth Flowerman of Morristown, N.J. has been selected by the Young Entrepreneurs’ Organization and the World Entrepreneurs’ Organization as the 2004 recipient of the award, which is sponsored by the NASDAQ Educational Foundation. Through this award, the Foundation seeks to recognize students with entrepreneurial spirit who have successfully applied the knowledge they’ve gained through JA programs.

As the president of Career Explorations LLC, Seth organizes and runs a residential summer internship program for high school students from around the country. Participants live at The Juilliard School in the heart of New York City, intern for top organizations during the day, and attend group activities such as concerts in Central Park, sporting events, and Broadway musicals in the evenings.

A "getting to know New York" scavenger hunt, a Career Night with top business executives, college visits, and a group community service project round out the program.  More information about Career Explorations is available online at www.ceinternships.com.

 “I am honored that the panel from the Young Entrepreneurs’ Organization and the World Entrepreneurs' Organization selected me as the JA Student Entrepreneur of the Year,” said Seth. “My experience is just another example of Junior Achievement’s commitment to educate students through high-quality programs.” 

Flowerman, who will attend Cornell University this fall, will be recognized for his achievement at JA’s “Day on the Hill” event on September 8 in Washington, D.C., during a presentation by Brien Bondi, president of the Young Entrepreneurs Organization.
