What We Do

Mission, Vision, and Values

Our Mission

Mini Entrepreneurs of RI aims to empower the next generation of leaders by providing children ages 4-14 (with a special focus on children from BIPOC, first-generation, and under-resourced communities) with a solid foundation in entrepreneurship education. Our mission is to create opportunities that foster the personal and academic development of children, nurturing them as lifelong learners. Through fun and engaging learning experiences, we aim to inspire children to explore their creativity, develop critical thinking skills, and cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset.

Our Vision

Mini Entrepreneurs of RI envisions a future where every child, regardless of their background, has the knowledge, skills, and confidence to explore and embrace their entrepreneurial potential. We aspire to be a driving force in the creation of a community where BIPOC, first-generation, and under-resourced children are equipped with the tools to innovate, lead, and contribute meaningfully to a diverse and inclusive entrepreneurial landscape.

Equity and Inclusion

We are committed to promoting equity and inclusion by prioritizing the needs of children from BIPOC, first-generation, and under-resourced communities, ensuring that all children have equal access to educational opportunities.

Empowerment

We believe in empowering children to become confident, creative, and resilient individuals, instilling in them the belief that they have the potential to be successful entrepreneurs and leaders.

Innovation

We embrace innovative and interactive tools to spark the entrepreneurial spirit in children, encouraging them to think outside the box, take risks, and develop solutions to real-world challenges.

Community Impact

We are dedicated to making a positive impact on the community by increasing the number of BIPOC/Under-resourced entrepreneurs. We believe in fostering economic empowerment and contributing to long-term wellness and education outcomes for children in our community.

Lifelong Learning

We promote a culture of lifelong learning, recognizing that the journey of education and entrepreneurship is ongoing. We encourage curiosity, exploration, and continuous development for both children and educators.

Collaboration

We value collaboration with parents, educators, community organizations, and businesses to create a supportive network that enhances the learning experience for children and promotes the growth of a diverse and inclusive entrepreneurial community.

Hear from Our Community

Mini Entrepreneurs of RI was an amazing opportunity for our boys. They truly looked forward to each day and loved that each day was a new experience. The camp staff was so friendly and we would highly recommend this as a way to give your children exposure to entrepreneurship in various industries.

It was our first time doing this event. We walked in so confused and not as confident in making any sales but by the time it was done we were so motivated to what we want to do for next year definitely coming back.

I speak for my family when I say this is amazing and exciting, we love every minute of this opportunity. My daughter is very shy when it comes to interacting with other people, so we appreciate this great idea to make the kids great. My only issue is that the fair should be longer.
