Could your business benefit your community?

You have a great idea for a business and would like to move forward with it. Before you do, have you thought about whether your idea could benefit the people around you? 

People as young as Maya Shea Penn, a 14-year-old from Georgia, are already making money while making a difference. 

Maya is an entrepreneur, author, eco-fashion designer and philanthropist. She combines a skill for creating fashion items with an interest in environmentalism and animal rights. Her small business donates some of its proceeds to charities that focus on those issues.
