"I thought that the workshop was very fun and educational. Our school has done previous entrepreneurship thingies in the past, but this one was more than just a lecture. You had us actually doing activities and having group discussions, not just worksheets. Our simulated popcorn companies were particularly fun." -Student in Boulder, CO
"I felt that the idea to empower people with disabilities to do things that they enjoy doing and at the same time create a way to make money to live on is critical to their self-esteem and well being." -Educator in Denver, CO
We believe that every person regardless of ability or disability should have the chance to lead a meaningful life. Our online education programs teach business and entrepreneurship to individuals with disabilities so they can lead happier and more fulfilling lives. Our programs create self-advocates; people who know themselves, advocate for what they need and have the skills to start a microenterprise or find interest-based community employment.
Celebrate EDU was founded by Linda & Jenny Anderson, mother and sister (respectively) of Brent Anderson, a young adult with autism. After watching him struggle to find opportunities for employment, they helped him turn his interests and strengths into a business. Today, Brent is a successful entrepreneur who has written 2 books and is a sought-after inspirational speaker. Celebrate EDU was created to provide self-advocates with disabilities the opportunity to start their own business or find employment where they can be happy and successful.
