COLORADO — Aspen Peterson, a rising senior at Evergreen High School and CEO of award-winning business - HighSchoolBabysitters.com, has achieved a significant milestone by successfully spearheading the passing of Senate Joint Resolution 24-019, designating the first week of June as "Colorado Youth Entrepreneurship Awareness Week" and creating a statewide Governor's Youth Business Contest.

The passing of this resolution highlights Colorado's ongoing commitment to fostering financial literacy and entrepreneurial skills among its youth.
