    The mission of Brett’s Business Builders is to cultivate the creative spirit in Riverton youth by promoting an enterprising kid-centered/kid-driven program, building strong community connections, and mentorship opportunities. Third, fourth and fifth graders will have the chance for amazing success towards their individual goals throughout the summer.

    Brett’s Business Builders Mentees will learn how to create a business plan, form a budget, understand pricing and start-up costs, and build and market their “Sips & Sweets” product(s). They will also be made aware of opportunities to set up their business stands at local community events such as the local farmer’s markets, Riverton Happy Days, and the Riverton Rendezvous Balloon Rally.

    Several Riverton business owners have stepped forward and expressed interest in assisting in the way of sponsorships or by hosting a Brett’s Business Builders Mentee business set up or stand.

    The summer program will culminate with the Brett’s Business Builders “Sips & Sweets Celebration” on National Lemonade Day, Saturday, August 20. All BBB Mentees who have participated in the program throughout the summer will set up their stands in Riverton City Park for the entire community to enjoy.
