KidVentures, Inc. is a non-profit organization, which brings an innovative approach to educating children, especially those at risk.

KidVentures helps students create and run a business, developing and marketing artistic products. They are exposed to a wide range of business and life skills, including the concepts of working, making a profit, and giving back to the community in which they live. These lessons, learned at an early age, can fundamentally change a child’s horizon and self-esteem.

Children are involved in a real-life business endeavor, learning product costing; advertising and marketing; business etiquette; and accurate record keeping. This can motivate them to improve in primary achievement areas, such as reading, writing and math.

Most importantly, students gain self-confidence, while working on projects that allow their creativity to unfold. Program profits go back to the community, and support a cause of the students' choice.

"Our mission is to introduce young people to entrepreneurship by developing and running their own business. By marketing products they create, students learn basic lifeskills and enhance their self-worth."
