About the Entrepreneurship Project
This page relates to the Entrepreneurship project known as the Biz Kid$. The Biz Kid$ can be ages 8-19 years. The members develop a business based on their interests, skills and creativity. The goal is to teach youth financial literacy by learning to run a small business. The businesses generally range from pet/baby sitting, house keeping/sitting services, craft and product selling, organized collective activities, such as yard sales, holiday boutiques, lemonade/concession stands etc. The business ideas are up to the creativity of the youth.
The club activities begin October 1st of each year and generally meet once a month at the leader's home to plan activities and encourage business ideas. Katy Holditch has been the primary leader of the club since 2014 with the assistance of co-leaders and parent volunteers. Co-Leader Linda Lee focuses on developing members' interest in crafting to develop products to sell or enter into the county fair.
