About UsHow The idea came about
One summer day, 4 young men ages 9-12 yrs. old were sitting around trying to figure out what they wanted to do for the day. The boys finally decided on the movies, however, paying for 4 kids and snacks at the movies was way more than Melissa ( a single mom) could afford. She came up with an idea for the youth to earn their own money. That day the young men learned the value of earning their own money. Melissa taught them how to make thier own product to sell, and they called it "funky foot powder". The product was made from all natural products, they were packaged, label and sold to friends and family. In 2009, Melissa Williams decided to launch a 4 week summer program "Kids in Biz". In 2012 she self-published," Kids in Biz" a book based on the ideas in the summer program. Today, Ms. Williams mission is to launch the Kids in Biz Entrepreneurship programs in communities around the world. |
