Turn Your Passion Into Your First Income
Learn essential business skills, build your dream team and brand, and gain confidence to launch your own venture —all while making friends and being part of a vibrant community of motivated peers.
As a nonprofit dedicated to youth development, we promote evidence-based and experiential learning.
Through our Babysitting Mastery training, Children’s Business Fair, Wayfinders Club, digital citizenship lessons, and guidance from real entrepreneurs and mentors, teens develop the confidence, responsibility, and practical skills to turn ideas into action and create real opportunities.
Instead of isolated activities, each program builds on the next—creating a clear developmental pathway.
Teens can start by learning practical, income-generating skills through babysitting and creative workshops, where they understand not only how to perform a skill, but also how to turn a skill into something that creates real value for others.
In Babysitting Mastery, participants go beyond basic training and learn the fundamentals of running a small service-based business—responsibility, communication, pricing, and how to find and keep great clients.
Art workshops help teens turn creativity into value, showing how passion can become a source of income and initiative.
These arts and crafts workshops also give them practical tools to better connect with children and become more capable, creative babysitters.
Wayfinders brings teen's skills together in a long-term entrepreneurial journey where they collaborate to earn funds, manage goals, and work toward a shared travel experience through teamwork and initiative.

About the fair
The Children’s Business Fair is a one-day marketplace where young entrepreneurs aged 6-16 showcase their creativity and learn real-world business skills. Kids create their own products or services, set up booths, interact with customers, and handle money, gaining confidence, financial literacy, and problem-solving skills. Hosted by Kindraza in partnership with Acton’s Children’s Business Fair - the largest entrepreneurship event for children in North America, the fair offers a safe, fun environment for kids to shine.

People Behind the Programs
Our instructors and mentors are lifelong entrepreneurs and startup builders who understand what it takes to turn ideas into reality. They guide, support, and inspire—helping young people take their first steps toward earning their own income and building real-world confidence.
More than anything, Kindraza is about community.
Kids collaborate, support each other, and grow together. They form friendships, learn teamwork, and experience the kind of personal development that prepares them not just for future careers—but for life.
These are the kinds of programs that make parents say:
“I wish I had this when I was a kid.”
