Entrepreneurship and enrichment classes for kids in Miami
The Family Seed Foundation is a Miami 501(c)(3) nonprofit offering hands-on entrepreneurship classes for children ages 7 to 14. Every child finishes with something real: a business, a book, a product, a pitch. We are pursuing Step Up For Students provider approval so PEP funds can cover tuition.
Your Step Up For Students PEP scholarship can pay for classes like ours. Here is the flow once a provider is approved.
01
Have your PEP scholarship ready
Your child's Personalized Education Program account holds funds for approved classes and enrichment.
02
Find us in your EMA portal
Search for The Family Seed Foundation under providers and submit a payment request for the class you want.
03
We are paid directly
Once Step Up approves the request, funds come straight to us and your child's seat is confirmed. No out-of-pocket cost.
Note: The Family Seed Foundation is currently pursuing Step Up For Students provider approval. Confirm your own eligibility with Step Up before submitting a payment request. Do not have PEP or need help? Contact us about a scholarship seat.
