Youth Biz Club

Momentum Tutoring is calling all Youth Entrepreneurs to join us at Santee's Bunny Trail Event. Hundreds of families will stroll booth-to-booth at their own pace during this city-wide celebration.

Youth ages 5 - 22 years are encouraged to develop a brand, create a product or service, build a marketing strategy, and then open for customers at our one-day marketplace. 

 

Momentum Tutoring believes that principled entrepreneurs are heroes and role models for the next generation. They are the business founders across this country, who make sacrifices to innovate, create jobs and serve their communities.
