What is the VKZ Kidpreneur Magazine?
As a VKZ Kidpreneur Club member, you receive a dedicated article all about you and your business in the VKZ Kidpreneur Magazine. This will be shared by Vegas Kids Zone to local media news outlets. As a VKZ Kidpreneur member, you will also be given a press release template and learn how to send out your own press releases about your products, events and other business endeavors to local and national media outlets.
Your article will be a part of The Vegas Kids Zone Spotlight series, which shines a light on the many kids and teens in the valley who are making a difference locally and globally. I’ve spoken to a tween CEO, a Make-a-Wish ambassador who battles Cystic Fibrosis and local kids who make their community better with their actions. Many local kidpreneurs have been featured on news stations and in print publications by being featured in the Vegas Kids Zone Spotlight series.
It’s also part of the Teen Career Tips series where local professionals share advice for kids who want to work in their field, share obstacles they encountered and how they overcame them. Entrepreneurship can help kids prepare for the future, gain confidence and skills.
