Biz Kid$ 

Although we ensure that scholars know the ins and outs of youth entrepreneurship. We also teach scholars to build and develop new and old skills. Some skills that we work on are as follows: 

  • Leadership 
  • Social Communication 
  • Creativity 
  • Public Speaking
  • Professionalism

After learning entrepreneurship skills through a week-long camp, participants can apply to become Biz Kid$ Reals to work with our campers.
