ABOUT US
 KidVentures, Inc. is a non-profit organization, which brings an innovative approach to educating children, especially those at risk.
 |
Students tally up their sales and put their math skills to good use. |
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.
 |
Artwork done by the students themselves is the hallmark of this entrepreneurship program. |
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.
Recently, KidVentures has joined forces with the international nonprofit National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE). For more information, go to: www.nfte.com.
"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."
