What is minipreneurs yyc?
MiniPreneursYYC
Are you looking for a truly unique program that helps build life skills, fosters entrepreneurship and initiates financial literacy? You've found it here. MiniPreneurs YYC exposes kids aged 7 to 15 to entrepreneurship by walking them through the steps of creating their own businesses. The program culminates in a Market Day where they sell their products to friends, family and the public.
After School – Oftentimes, our programs run outside of school hours as much of the content is not in the school curriculum. You'll find us in community centers and other such spaces.
Private Groups – Do you know a group of Girl Guides, Scouts, kids of private group members such as EO, that want to be a part of the fun? As long as we have a minimum of 8 interested kidpreneurs, we can start a group for you. We've even held meetings in someone's home - how inviting is that?
Special Programs – Some schools have special programs built into their curriculums and have offered MiniPreneurs as a Club. Perhaps your child's school can too.
Homeschool - Let us help you deliver financial literacy, risk taking, and entrepreneurship
