At the heart of our organization is love & passion

Kids In Business®, a non-profit organization founded in 1985 by Barbara Weiland. The goal of KIB is to educate children and families about the many aspects of starting a business, financial literacy, and basic skills/knowledge.

Since its inception, Barbara has led many different educational campaigns and charitable programs, and has held her passion and love of children and education at full strength for many decades! Her latest project, The Kinney Garden, began just 3 years ago with a single dollar, and has blossomed into one of her most successful programs ever!
