Helping children is a big part of giving back to our community. This summer business owners in the Chino Valley have a great opportunity to participate with the Summertime Kidz-n-Biz Project. This project is designed to help children from the third grade to the eight grade.
For a period of 13 weeks this summer, The Kidz n Biz Project will be helping children through an instruction and mentoring program that will assist the children as they are working in their own businesses. Local business owners will be volunteering their time to instruct and mentor these entrepreneurial spirited children.
Each child that plans to participate will of course have to have permission from their parents. Each child will also submit a one page business plan for their summertime business and commit to attend instruction sessions according the prescribed schedule.
Some of the areas of instruction and mentoring will be:
*Understanding the use of money *How to market effectively
*What it takes to be a good sales person *Why customer service is important
*Adding value to to their product or service *Why it is important to give back
*The responsibilities of being in business *The importance of keeping good records
These are just a few of the instructional components of the program. For 90 days starting June 2, 2008 - August 30, 2008 the participating children will be working in their own businesses and receiving instruction, mentoring and being held accountable to their business plan.
As an added incentive for the children that participate we are offering cash, prizes and gift certificates periodically during the summer. At the conclusion of the project we are offering a grand prize of $500 to the top winner, $300 to the second place winner and $200 to the third place winner in three different grade categories.
If you're a parent, we would love you to give your child permission to participate. Kidz n Biz Blog into your browser to register your child/children.
