WHAT IS A KIDPRENEUR?

• A Kidpreneur is a kid with a big idea. This summer, ELC of the Big Bend invites children aged 8-12 to join our 5-week summer business program.
• By choosing from one of our four business ideas, ELC will provide Kidpreneurs with supplies, instructions, and support to make their summer business a success!
• We'll also have evening in-person family engagement workshops every week throughout July to keep everyone on track.
• Our program finale will include a Marketplace for Kidpreneurs to sell the products they created throughout the summer and an Awards Dinner to celebrate their accomplishments!
