Rules & Guidelines
-
Each EntrepreNeni should be willing and able to take ownership of their business, from planning to execution. Their participation should be based on, first and foremost, their happiness and eagerness to partake in the steps of owning their business. The parents are there to guide and help, but the child should take the lead and do the work. “You can give a kid a fish and feed him for a day, or you can teach a kid to fish and feed her for a lifetime!”
-
The Neni Market is a youth entrepreneurial program designed to provide children with education and experience. All EntrepreNenis must attend at least 2 of the 4 workshop options from the program. Ideally, the more workshops they attend the more valuable information they’ll gain from our business mentors.
