Mini Titans

— Inspiring the next generation through entrepreneurship

About Mini Titans

Mini Titans is a values-based educational program that teaches children how the free market works and how to think like entrepreneurs. We believe children benefit not only from skills, but from developing honesty, discipline, resilience, work ethic, and an ownership mentality. (

Our camps and workshops empower youth to explore business ideas, create products or services, and understand the principles of commerce and innovation.

Position Overview

We are seeking 
Seasonal Camp Instructors / Mentors / Coach

to lead our children's entrepreneurship camps (ages 7–17). This is an action-oriented role: you'll guide teams of kids through ideation, product development, marketing, and sales in a camp + market format.

You'll be a mentor, coach, facilitator, and doer someone who embodies the "ownership mentality" and wants to inspire kids to engage with their future potential.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead daily camp sessions: teach, coach, facilitate business idea development
  • Mentor kids individually and in teams as they shape ideas into marketable products or services
  • Help source or prepare materials, tools, supplies, and "invention kits" for projects
  • Coordinate "market day" or exhibition where kids present or sell their creations
  • Provide feedback, encouragement, and structure to students
  • Assist with camp setup, teardown, and logistics
  • Monitor student progress, safety, and behavior
  • Collaborate with the Mini Titans leadership team to iterate and improve program delivery

Qualities & Skills We're Looking For

Must-haves:

  • Entrepreneurial mindset you take action, you build, you test
  • Strong communication and coaching skills
  • Genuine enthusiasm for mentoring young people
  • Flexible, resourceful, and adaptable
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
  • Energetic, positive, proactive attitude

Nice to have (but not required):

  • Basic knowledge or exposure to business, marketing, sales, or product development
  • Background in teaching, coaching, or mentorship

We don't require formal teaching experience we prefer doers and action takers who can inspire through doing.

Work Schedule & Term

  • Seasonal: during times when schools are not in session (summer break, winter break, spring break)
  • Camps may run full days (e.g., 9am–4pm) or half days depending on location
  • Some prep days before camp start and wrap up days after camp
  • Must be available during the full duration of assigned camps (no partial commitments)

Why Join Mini Titans?

  • Make meaningful impact: help youth understand how the free market works and shape their ownership mindset
  • Be part of a mission-driven, growing organization with vision to expand to new communities
  • Develop your coaching, leadership, and entrepreneurship skills
  • Work in a dynamic, hands-on role (not just lecturing you get to do as you coach)
  • Flexible seasonal work that complements other commitments
