Marketplace For Kids teaches entrepreneurial and career awareness to students in grades 3-8, giving them their first look at running their own business, numerous career choices by hands-on experience and many times their first look at their local college and higher education.

Its vision is for every student to receive entrepreneurship education and encouragement to become a lifelong partner in building stronger communities. Marketplace For Kids works with K-12 educators throughout the region to provide tools, opportunities, and resources in and out of the classroom to activate innovative approaches to education. Marketplace for Kids is designed for grades 3-8. However, any student who wants to participate can. There is no cost to students, teachers, or parents.

The Jamestown Regional Entrepreneur Center and the University of Jamestown are excited to be hosting this innovative programming.
