GFA Kids: Nurturing Tomorrow’s Global Leaders
Empowering children with real-world business and technology skills
The Birth of GFA Kids
In 2021, during the height of the coronavirus lockdown, Mike Michelini and his wife Wendy faced a challenge many parents encountered - the need for effective online education for their children. However, their vision extended beyond traditional schooling. They saw an opportunity to create something unique that would better prepare children for the future.
This led to the birth of GFA Kids (Global From Asia Kids), a natural extension of the Global From Asia community. As more GFA community members were building families, there was a growing need for education that would nurture the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs, not just employees.
Our Vision
GFA Kids was established with a clear mission: to empower children aged 6-16 with practical knowledge and skills that traditional education often overlooks. We focus on:
- Developing business mindset and entrepreneurial thinking
- Fostering creative problem-solving skills
- Building practical technology and internet skills
- Enhancing global communication abilities
- Understanding e-commerce and digital marketing
Growth and Evolution
Since its pilot program launch in May 2021, GFA Kids has grown significantly. What started as a response to pandemic-era education needs has evolved into a thriving community where:
- Experienced GFA leaders share their expertise with the next generation
- Children learn through interactive online classes and real-world projects
- Parents from the GFA community connect and collaborate
- Students develop practical skills while maintaining their regular school education
Program Structure
GFA Kids operates as a supplementary education program, designed to complement, not replace, traditional schooling. Our curriculum includes:
- Business Mindset Development
- Modern Day Investments and Branding
- Cross Border eCommerce Overview
- Visual Arts and Graphic Design
- Content Marketing and Digital Media
