About FreshStart Kids

Where Kids Become Entrepreneurs

FreshStart Kids is a nonprofit youth entrepreneurship program that teaches kids ages 8–17 to design and sell private-label air fresheners. More than a craft project — it's a full business experience.

  • 🎨Brand Creation — Kids design their own logo, brand name, and packaging from scratch.
  • 💰Pricing & Profit — Learn cost of goods, markup, and what it means to actually earn a profit.
  • 📣Sales & Marketing — Practice pitching, selling to real customers, and using social media for promotion.
  • 📊Financial Literacy — Tracking revenue, expenses, and reinvesting in their business.
  • 🤝Community Impact — Program proceeds support youth programs and local charities.
