Lewis County Business Academy provides students with a practical understanding of business fundamentals, ranging from financial literacy to marketing and entrepreneurial skills. The LCBA program instills a strong business foundation in students, nurturing their potential as future business leaders and entrepreneurs. Kiddin’ Around works with multiple school districts in Lewis County, including Centralia and Chehalis, to bring Lewis County Business Academy to Juniors in High school for free. We are proud to partner with Centralia College to bring the students to the college campus so that they get a glimpse of college life for a week.

Each year we talk to students who had no intention of attending college, but change their mind, and the course of their futures, due to Lewis County Business Academy. Each year we are blown away by the students who work hard in teams with people they have never met to create something new and exciting. Successful businesses are part of what makes a community thrive and we are continuously blown away by these creative and smart students.

We invite you to be part of this truly special week by volunteering as a “Company Advisor” and guiding a team through the week, volunteering as a judge and witnessing what the students have created, or by sponsoring a Lewis County Business Academy team.
