The Grand Island Chamber of Commerce has planned and organized the KidBiz Young Entrepreneur Program for the last 27 years. Annually, we have anywhere from 125-200 students who have a blast participating in the program.

The KidBiz program shows students in 2nd through 8th grade just what it takes to run a business. The kids come up with their own ideas for a product to develop, market and then sell. Some students even sign a loan agreement with their parents to cover start-up costs.

This is a wonderful opportunity for business leaders in our community to set a great example for our future business owners and provide some guidance & support to these budding entrepreneurs.
