Business for Kids and Teens

Business for Kids and Teens encourages youth in grades 1-9 to showcase their entrepreneurial spirit by developing a business plan for their existing venture or business idea.

This initiative awards local youth with a business certificate upon submission of a business plan. To assist in developing such a plan, we have created a free step-by-step planning guide (1.14 MB) with additional resources for reference and inspiration. A team will review each submission, and the top 3 entrepreneurs will receive a monetary prize to help kick-start their business!
