Kiddin’ Around has announced the launch of its new website, designed by Matthew Anthony of Admetus Designs, creating a new online home for the organization’s growing programs, community partnerships and opportunities to get involved.
The new website gives community members, families, businesses, volunteers and supporters an easier way to learn about Kiddin’ Around and the work happening throughout Lewis County to create opportunities for local students, according to a news release from Kiddin’ Around, which is based in Centralia.
Current programming includes driver’s education scholarships, helping remove the financial barrier for local students working toward an important step in independence, as well as Lewis County Business Academy, an immersive program designed to introduce juniors in high school to business, entrepreneurship and career skills through hands-on learning and connections with local professionals.
This December, the Lewis County Business Academy will return for 2026, bringing students from Centralia and W.F. West high schools and the business community together for a week-long program centered around real-world learning.
Students will have the opportunity to experience what it takes to build and operate a business while developing skills in areas such as teamwork, leadership, communication, finance and entrepreneurship, while experiencing life on campus at Centralia College.
Kiddin’ Around is currently inviting businesses, organizations and community members to be part of the 2026 Lewis County Business Academy through sponsorships, volunteering and other partnership opportunities.
“Our community has an incredible amount of knowledge and experience to share with the next generation,” Kiddin’ Around leadership said in the release. “Business Academy is an opportunity for students to learn about business in a completely different way while also seeing that there are people right here in Lewis County who want to see them succeed.”
The newly launched website will serve as the central location to learn more about Kiddin’ Around programs, follow upcoming opportunities, support the organization and find ways to get involved.
Local businesses interested in sponsoring a student experience, professionals willing to volunteer their time, or community members who simply want to support opportunities for Lewis County youth are all invited to join in.
