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. Kids can start a  business reselling these reusable straws for $3-4 each. 

Enough for 30 students, each kit comes with a guidebook written at a 3rd-5th grade reading level which covers:

- Why you should set a goal and suggested goals options

- Thinking Like An Entrepreneur by seeing obstacles as creative challenges

- A Simple Business Plan form

- Pricing and profit- recommended profit margin

- Introduction to Sales & Marketing - defining target customers, how and where to contact them

- Marketing tactics such as phone, email, and in-person events

- Conversation tips- to help students structure a sales call (to Grandpa) or video

- Customer Service - solving problems, making customers for life

- Return on Investment- what it is, how to calculate it
