Learn more at bizworld.org/Event-17h-Annual-Riskmaster-Luncheon At BizWorld.org we have an unwavering commitment to unleashing the power inside every student, because we believe that entrepreneurship programs can be the pathway to hopeful futures and the positive social engagement we so critically need in our communities today. For over 20 years, BizWorld has partnered with thousands of schools and educators worldwide to bring students the opportunity to develop their entrepreneurial mindset and equip them with the practical knowledge and experience to become a generation of global problem solvers. Our mission is simple - we exist to EMPOWER students to become 21st-century thinkers by awakening their entrepreneurial spirit, INSPIRING them to become the architects of their futures, and giving them the CONFIDENCE to transform their world. Our story began in 1997 in Silicon Valley as a grassroots effort to teach students the critical business skills they were not being taught in school, and transformed into the largest teacher-led entrepreneurial program in the world. To date, more than 850,000 students in more than 100 countries have participated in our programs. BizWorld.org is committed to enriching the quality of education and future prospects for under-served youth, promoting self-sufficiency, and assisting youth in achieving their highest potential. Starting in 3rd grade with our flagship program, BizWorldPRO, and building up to the incubation of their start-ups through our Young Entrepreneur Success (YES!) program, we give students the opportunity to be inspired by their own capacity while experiencing meaningful learning curricula to equip them with the necessary skills and tools to create an impact in our world.
