Project Title: Future Business Leaders of Tomorrow
Project Description:

In the OECD’s latest PISA financial literacy results, 18% of 15 year old students do not have basic proficiency. That number represents more than a gap in knowledge. It is a countdown clock. It means thousands of young people are entering adulthood unable to confidently budget, compare choices, understand credit, or evaluate risk. When money decisions arrive fast, they are forced to learn through mistakes. Dreams get delayed, debt grows, and bright ideas never become businesses.
Boss Kidz Inc. is built to change that story. We work with youth and young adults ages 14 to 24 through creative, practical learning that makes business skills feel real, relevant, and achievable. We serve youth and young adults ages 14–24 across Georgia and Alabama, with strong ties to the Atlanta market. Last year we served over 6000 students. Our program, Future Business Leaders of Tomorrow, turns curiosity into capability. Students learn how to set up and run a business, then strengthen the engine that makes it last: branding, marketing, customer focus, and professional presentation. They practice how to communicate value, how to think strategically, and how to show up like leaders in rooms that can change their future.
Implementation will roll out in cohorts, combining weekly skill building workshops with guided work sessions where students develop a business plan and brand kit. Each cohort culminates in a pitch showcase evaluated by entrepreneurs and mentors. We will track attendance, pre and post skill growth, and completed deliverables to ensure measurable progress.
