Rebel Ventures in action.

Rebel Ventures introduces itself with the line, "Youth Powered Healthy Deliciousness", and gives the following descriptive information:

Growing up in Philadelphia, grabbing breakfast, lunch, and snacks to and from school has become a deeply ingrained behavioral pattern. The corner stores that provide these foods (chips, sodas, candy, and hoagies) are everywhere and usually do not carry healthier options.

Kids have free access to breakfast, lunch, and snack at school. Unfortunately too few kids eat this nutritious food.

Kids, in almost all instances, make the final choice of what they will eat. This choice is ownership, and one of the first and few things kids can control. Adults are the authority determining what foods are available for kids to eat. Adults have a tendency to prioritize profit over kids health. So we rebel. To rebel means to resist authority. We believe that kids want to be healthy, we just need to listen to them, value them, and amplify their voice. We believe that through entrepreneurship kids can get kids what they want. Rebel Ventures is a youth-run business creating healthy deliciousness by, with, and for kids.
