What is the Ujamaa Youth Business Expo?
The Ujamaa Youth Business Fair inspires children to discover their inner entrepreneur. This one-day market gives children the opportunity to showcase their very own businesses.
Who can attend?
Entrepreneurs ages 7 to 19 may attend.
How many businesses will you except?
We will except up to 36 businesses.
Where should I begin?
Start with our resources page. Read inspiring stories about other young entrepreneurs and play games to hone your business skills.
What is the process?
Young entrepreneurs first make an important decision: they hire themselves! Then they bring their parents or guardians to attend a Launch Event to learn more. At the Launch Event, they learn about the simple application process. They apply, and then begin to launch a product or service. The children plan their business at every level: product, service, marketing, accounting, cost of goods, pricing, etc. And in this process, they learn a sense of wonder, the importance of hard work, taking responsibility, and gaining confidence in the next challenge.
Don't miss out—apply to the fair today and take the first step towards showcasing your talent and launching your entrepreneurial journey!
