Design and launch a service-based business with a genuine social mission. Kids find a community need and build a business that helps, combining empathy with entrepreneurship, service with strategy. Social entrepreneurship that teaches both impact and business skills.
Ages 8–14 · Project guide · 3 skill levels
Your child spots a real need in the neighbourhood and builds a small service business around solving it. The catch is that the need has to be genuine, so they have to look properly and ask people rather than guess. Then they promote it, and the feedback tells them what they got wrong.
Pitching, pricing, failing, and trying again. These are the skills no school subject teaches but every adult life needs. One small business taught at home beats a hundred worksheets on "economics."
