The goal is not just to create young business owners, but to develop young leaders with vision, discipline, creativity, and character.

Kingdom Kid Entrepreneur was created out of a desire to expose young people to opportunities, entrepreneurship, leadership, and financial literacy at an early age.

Many children have creativity, talent, and big ideas, but they are rarely given the tools, mentorship, or environment to turn those ideas into something real. Kingdom Kid Entrepreneur was designed to bridge that gap.

The vision began through community outreach efforts focused on empowering youth, preventing violence, building confidence, and helping young people discover purpose. The program teaches children that they do not have to wait until adulthood to create, lead, and make an impact.

By combining faith-based values, entrepreneurship, mentorship, and hands-on learning experiences, Kingdom Kid Entrepreneur encourages youth to believe in themselves, use their gifts boldly, and become positive leaders in their homes, schools, and communities.

Applications must be submitted online. Please submit one application per business.
