About Pequeños Empresarios Club | Conscious Club Collective
Pequeños Empresarios, founded July 24, 2014 in Madera, CA, is a youth power accelerator disguised as a nonprofit. Built to counter identity erosion and generational poverty in Central Valley’s Latino communities, it equips 12–17-year-olds with real-world tools: financial literacy, public speaking, environmental intelligence, and cultural pride.
This isn’t feel-good programming—it’s infrastructure for future leadership. Every module (“Becoming the Best YOU,” “Money Matters,” “EcoAwareness,” and “Protocol & Etiquette”) is designed to build agency, not compliance. Teens don’t sit through lectures—they lead events, budget real money, run mock businesses, and speak publicly. Outcomes are visible: confidence, clarity, and community activation.
The founding team—led by Leonor Hipolito—built the model from ground truth. It’s bilingual, community-rooted, and inherently scalable. Pequeños now extends to family training, positioning it as a full-spectrum ecosystem for generational impact. Backed by the Conscious Club Collective, it's primed for replication through licensing, school partnerships, and municipal alliances.
Pequeños isn’t after incremental change. It produces youth who don’t ask for power—they build it.
