Kids Market has launched five children-run markets within the Reno and Carson City area so far this year, and in September, they’ll be partnering with the Eastern Sierra Feed Farmers Market as well.
“We would love to give the opportunity to as many kids as possible to make some money this fall and we would love to get the community to come out and support these kids,” a spokesperson said.
The Children’s Entrepreneur Market, a nonprofit initiative committed to empowering children through entrepreneurial experiences, was launched in 2017 in Utah. After successfully operating for 6 years, the market is positioned to be in 50 states in 2025, giving more than 100,000 children an opportunity to try their hand at business.
Children develop valuable life skills in this family-centered project as they practice the fundamentals of running a small business, all while having fun!
“We believe the Children’s Entrepreneur Market can positively influence a lot of young lives,” said Lynée Fife, Director of the program. “The principles of innovation, leadership, and hard work are lessons that will stay with them throughout their lives.”
Children are offered additional support including a video course on how to set-up their business, scholarships for growth and a blog series to share lessons and experiences from kids, for kids.
The program aims to operate in every state by 2026, with a goal of being in more than 200 metro areas serving half a million children each year. Learn more at http://www.kidsmarkets.com
