WHAT IS KIDPRENEURS?
Kidpreneurs is a hands-on entrepreneurship program designed to help young people explore their interests, develop business ideas, and experience what it takes to bring a product or service to life.
Through interactive online masterclasses and a culminating in-person marketplace, participants will learn practical business skills and gain the confidence to share their ideas with real customers.
WHAT WILL YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS LEARN?
Throughout the four masterclasses, participants will learn how to:
- Develop a Business Idea: Choose and refine a product or service that reflects their interests and creativity.
- Understand Money: Set prices, manage costs, and build foundational financial literacy.
- Market Their Business: Promote their offerings, communicate their value, and practice an engaging business pitch.
- Design an Inviting Booth: Create an attractive, organized, and welcoming marketplace display.
- Connect with Customers: Practice customer service, communicate confidently, and learn how to collect payments.
- Collaborate and Grow: Build teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership skills alongside fellow young entrepreneurs.
Each session builds toward the main event: the Kidpreneurs Marketplace, where participants can proudly showcase their businesses, connect with community members, and put their new skills into practice.
