Youth Entrepreneurship Program (2026-2027)

The Young Entrepreneur Program Summer 2026 is a two-week intensive experience designed to equip youth ages 12–17 with the foundational skills, confidence, and mindset needed to become future business leaders. Through interactive workshops, hands-on activities, mentorship, and real-world business exercises, participants will learn how to identify opportunities, develop business ideas, create simple business plans, understand marketing and finances, and confidently present their ideas. The program emphasizes leadership development, creativity, problem-solving, communication skills, and faith-based character principles that prepares young people for success in business and life. By the end of the program, students will have developed and presented their own business concept while building valuable connections with local entrepreneurs, community leaders, and peers. This initiative seeks to inspire the next generation of innovators and empower youth to create positive economic and social impact within their communities.
