Youth Entrepreneurship Program — Teen Entrepreneurship Program

Character in Command

Youth-Led Ventures That Shape Virtue at Work

Great Leadership Begins With Inner Mastery

At Kingdom Studies Academy, we believe that true leadership starts with character—and that young people can be powerful agents of transformation in their families, communities, and workplaces. Character in Command is a bold, three-year initiative that equips teens (ages 14–19) to grow in virtue, build purpose-driven businesses, and become leaders who influence others through values-based action.

The Vision: Character First. Leadership Next.

Rooted in our signature “Be, Do, Have” framework, the program teaches youth to:

  • Be grounded in purpose and integrity,
  • Do meaningful work that serves others,
  • and Have a life aligned with their calling.

Through biblically inspired entrepreneurship, mentorship, and holistic development, we cultivate a generation of teens who not only lead well—but live well.

What Teens Experience

Online Foundations: Thrive in Motion

Every participant begins by completing Thrive in Motion: A Teen’s Guide to Purpose, Passion & Potential. This online course provides lifetime access and introduces key concepts in:

  • Value creation
  • Biblical purpose
  • Entrepreneurial thinking
  • Character-based leadership
Virtue-Based Coaching & Family Engagement

Selected teens participate in biweekly coaching sessions focused on the five pillars of life:
🕊️ Spiritual | 💪 Physical | 🧠 Mental | ❤️ Emotional | 💰 Financial
These sessions help shape essential virtues such as self-control, perseverance, gratitude, and purpose—qualities that fuel ethical leadership.

Launch a Purpose-Driven Business

With guidance from experienced coaches and mentors, each teen launches a real business that:

  • Reflects biblical values
  • Serves their community
  • Provides early employment opportunities for peers
Microgrants and support services—including legal, financial, and operational setup—are provided to ensure the businesses are launched with integrity.

Lead with Character, Multiply with Influence

As participants grow their business, they begin hiring peers and practicing leadership. We study how their character as a leader influences the virtue development of their employees—proving that leadership grounded in values can multiply goodness across entire communities.

"Without wise leadership, a nation falls; there is safety in having many advisers." Proverbs 11:14
