About This Cause
The BizWorld experience brings out the innovative genius inside us all. BizWorld was founded on the belief that entrepreneurial skills are essential life skills that help individuals of all ages thrive in any endeavor. For over 25 years, we have been empowering youth around the world to embrace innovation and pursue their dreams. BizWorld.org provides engaging, hands-on programs promoting financial responsibility, leadership and teamwork skills for children and youth across the country and around the world. By teaching them leadership, entrepreneurship and business skills, students are better prepared to tackle the academic challenges of the 21st century. Children work together in a real-world environment to create a business. They discover their talents, develop critical skills for success, and increase their self-confidence. BizWorld.org was originally founded in 1997 by venture capitalist Tim Draper who saw a need for inspiring entrepreneurship in children. Since then, BizWorld.org has distributed three innovative project- based classroom programs - BizWorld+, id8, and Impact Challenge - to over 8000 educators in formal and informal learning environments and reached 890,000 students around the world. Our classroom curricula can be taught to children as young as 8 years old all the way through high school. Our programs offer fun, engaging content suitable for children of all levels, abilities and backgrounds. Our Young Entrepreneur Success (YES!) program is an online accelerator program for high potential youth with a viable business they wish to launch or grow. In each 12 week cohort, young entrepreneurs are paired with proven business coaches, pitch coaches and complete online course material as well as attend weekly workshops on a variety of business related topics. The program culminates in a pitch competion, the finalists from which go on to Demo Day for the opportunity to pitch for up to $30,000 in seed funding. The YES! program is available to youth aged 16-22 years at no cost to them. Since the launch of YES! in 2019 we have provided $140,000 in funding to 21 youth-owned businesses and accelerated 91 companies. In addition to the U.S, BizWorld has international partners in the Netherlands, China, Japan, UK and UAE. Bizworld's commitment is to ensuring our programs are affordable and accessible for all. When you give to BizWorld you: * Empower Young Entrepreneurs with essential skills like creativity, teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving. * Create Future Leaders who are self-confident and resilient, equipped to tackle the challenges of the world around them. * Help Us Expand Our Reach and increase accessibility for youth who typically lack access to quality entrepreneurship education, giving them tangible opportunities to launch their dreams. Together, we can inspire a generation of young entrepreneurs who will drive innovation, create opportunities, and make the world a better place.
