About Us
As a former primary teacher turned life coach, I saw a critical gap in schools- students weren’t getting real, hands-on experience in entrepreneurship.
The Snack Troops challenges fill that gap. We supply schools with tasty snacks and the schools run one of our fun challenges with their primary and/or early secondary students. Each student that takes part gets the chance to develop their resilience, increase their problem-solving and confidence by diving into real-world challenges.
I was once the shy kid who struggled to speak up and did not do well in the traditional subjects. Now, our challenges help the next generation step up, take risks, and grow all while having fun.
Snack Troops is not just a business. It is a mission to create fun experiences that live long in their memory and to nurture confident young entrepreneurs – one snack at a time.
