Students interested in participating in D.R.E. must meet the following criteria: must be a student between the ages of 17 to 23 possessing sincere entrepreneurial spirit, strong work ethic, and unwavering integrity. Secondly, each D.R.E. Jr. Leader must be accountable to our mission, believe in our vision, and commit to our purpose. D.R.E. belongs to those who truly aspire and believe in their ability to become entrepreneurs. As a member of D.R.E., each student will participate as a business partner in a growing venture. Business incubation, developing ideas, and creating business plans are essential steps while participating in D.R.E. Tremendous focus, comprehensive effort, and a healthy sacrifice of recreational time are requisites of the leaders within the group.
We hold our D.R.E. Annual Conference in Los Angeles during the summer. This gathering brings together D.R.E. Members from all over the country, and also overseas. At the beginning of every month, you will be required to attend an induction meeting with other D.R.E. Members in your respective region.
In order to gain membership status, each applicant must pass through a screening process administered by a current Jr. Leader.
