Teaching The Next Generation of Entrepreneurs We are passionate about entrepreneurship. We are equally passionate about teaching the next generation to have God's perspective on work, and love it for what it is.

Entrepreneurship is a way of looking at the world...

Successful entrepreneurs look at the world through a lens of opportunity. We want to train the next generation to think entrepreneurially from a young age. Thinking outside of the box, looking for solutions where others see dead-ends and creating new opportunities are just a few of the things needed to succeed as an entrepreneur. Let us help pass this mindset on to your children and teens!

A strong work ethic originates from God...

God created work before the Fall. It is a good thing and is meant to provide fulfillment and as a means to glorify the Lord. So why do so many young people have a goal of avoiding work at all costs? Having a Biblical view of work is crucial for young people so they grow up to love hard work and the satisfaction that accompanies labor.  We have a passion to instill God’s perspective on work to the next generation!

Thank you for creating such a great program for homeschooled kids to learn about starting a business! CHE has really helped open my son’s eyes to a whole new way of thinking about his future career opportunities! The best part is, his enthusiasm is contagious – his siblings all want to start their own businesses, too!”
