Summary
Up to 100 Rio Grande Valley students ages 5 to 12 will join a new program teaching entrepreneurship and financial literacy through creating and selling their own products.
Mija Media House and the RGV Hispanic Chamber of Commerce are running the Vendiendo Con Mi Grandma and Grandpa Kids initiative, which emphasizes building simple business ideas into real ventures.
August 14 is the target date for the program’s Kids Mercadito at the Pharr Memorial Library, where participants will showcase and sell what they make.
Sponsorships for the market are still open, extending the initiative beyond student training into a broader community-backed event.
