The American Canyon Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to announce the launch of the third year of our signature program, Kids Commerce. This year, however, marks a significant milestone: Kids Commerce will now operate under the newly established American Canyon Chamber of Commerce Foundation. As a 501(c)(3) organization, the Foundation is poised to elevate the impact of our youth programs, attract grant funding, secure founding sponsors, and expand opportunities for our community’s future leaders.

Kids Commerce is not just a program; it is an experience that inspires creativity, fosters entrepreneurial spirit, and equips young participants with the essential tools to succeed in the world of business. Over the course of eight to ten weeks, middle school and high school students embark on a journey where they learn to develop business ideas, create comprehensive business plans, design logos, establish budgets, and craft marketing strategies. Through mentorship from Chamber members and local business leaders, these young entrepreneurs gain hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of what it takes to bring their visions to life.

Why Kids Commerce Is One of a Kind

What sets Kids Commerce apart is its unique approach to combining education, mentorship, and real-world application. Each participant is guided through the fundamentals of entrepreneurship in a supportive and dynamic environment. Our students do more than imagine their dreams—they build them.

The Role of the American Canyon Chamber of Commerce Foundation

The establishment of the American Canyon Chamber of Commerce Foundation ensures that programs like Kids Commerce will continue to thrive and expand. As a 501(c)(3) organization, the Foundation enables us to:

  • Apply for grants to fund initiatives that empower youth and strengthen our community.
  • Attract founding members who share our vision for a brighter future.
  • Create sustainable programs that provide long-term benefits for American Canyon’s youth.

Kids Commerce is just the beginning. With the support of the Foundation, we aim to launch additional workforce development programs and initiatives that address the needs of our local youth while fostering economic growth in our community.
