Young CEO Squad helps kids age 8-12 start their own business and make money right away. Our kits are a business-in-a-bag that create a hands-on activity to give kids a profitable, quick, and fun experience in business. Each student receives a vinyl zip top bag with a Getting Started Guide, 5 keychains, 18 charms and a pricing guide. Kids can start a keychain business reselling these customizable keychains + 3 charms for $5-7 each.
