Parents: Do you want to your kids to learn leadership and entrepreneurial skills and have the courage to make the world a better place?

Kids: Do you want to meet people who are making the world a better place and learn how you can do it, too? Do you want to belong to a community of kids who challenge themselves to make an impact and have fun?

Check out The Business of Doing Good — a social entrepreneur program for middle school kids!

Every day you will meet people from profit and non-profit businesses who will share their inspirational stories about how they are changing the world. You will work on a project that you create. Local business owners, CEOs, and start-up creators will work with you as you get a feel for what it means to be an entrepreneur.

Want to create and sew accessories to raise money for public schools? Hold a basketball contest to collect cans for the food cupboard? Promote an anti-bullying campaign? Leaders will work with you to determine your passion and how you can make an impact.

Boston heroes include the founder of an adventure non-profit who creates trips for the disabled, education technology CEOs starting learning programs for kids, owners of local businesses, founders of start-up accelerators, and heads of financial firms.
