2026 Kidpreneur Application
The Early Learning Coalition of the Big Bend Region, Inc, is pleased to announce our 6th annual Kidpreneur Summer Business Program. This free program runs June 25th - August 4th, which includes kit pick-up, orientation, weekly evening workshops, a community market, and program awards dinner. Application deadline is Monday, May 18th.

Eligible participants must be ages 8–12 and live in one of the seven service counties: Gadsden, Jefferson, Leon, Liberty, Madison, Taylor, or Wakulla.

Kidpreneur is not a drop-in summer camp and requires caregiver participation. If your child has participated for two or more years, we kindly ask that you do not apply this year so other Big Bend children have the opportunity to take part.
