Entrepreneurs for Kids (E4K) is a business community created by entrepreneurs who want to inspire local youth to navigate life with an entrepreneurial mindset. We created E4K to ensure that more students could have access to a wealth of inspirational leaders right here in their community. By joining E4K, you will help open the doors of opportunity for a rising student leader by providing opportunities, like scholarships and mentorship, while growing your business network with other like-minded individuals.
Become a member today and help us reach our goal of providing ten $5,000 scholarships to ten local students.
E4K is a business community that specializes in two things: providing opportunities like scholarships and mentorship to local youth, and growing your network so you can grow your business. A business group like this isn’t something you see every day.
E4K was designed by entrepreneurs, but don’t let titles stop you. Whether you work in a large corporation, own your own business, or have a side hustle, if you have an entrepreneurial mindset, we believe you have something inspirational to give to a future leader. E4K is a Children’s Foundation initiative. As a long-standing community foundation focused on the health and wellbeing of children across our region, the mission of E4K is right in our wheelhouse when it comes to running an effective program focused on youth. Since E4K is managed by an established Foundation, you can rest knowing that your membership dollars are going towards providing more opportunities for kids to thrive in our state. It doesn’t get much better than that. So, become a member today to begin your legacy as an Entrepreneur, for kids!
Our members get access to at least six event per year in addition to ongoing mentorship opportunities with our Academic Partners. Each event is focused either growing your business, growing your network or growing the next generation of leaders.
Small Business Association of Michigan member benefits including group insurance, human resource services, office supply discounts and more.
