With activities ranging from classes to competitions, apprenticeships to guest speakers, Young Entrepreneur Institute reaches students in grades K – 12 and through a wide variety of institutions. In addition to a robust suite of activities for University School students, we support the broader youth entrepreneurship ecosystem with community-wide programs for kids and educators.
We will work with anyone to share best practices in entrepreneurship education. Although most of our work focuses on the Northeast Ohio youth entrepreneurship ecosystem, we work with organizations all over the world. We believe every child should understand and experience entrepreneurship.
With the generous support of University School, community foundations and organizations, Young Entrepreneur Institute is able to provide our services at no cost to schools and organizations serving children in grades K – 12.
Our programs are not limited to those developed by Young Entrepreneur Institute. There are wonderful programs offered by many organizations in the ecosystem, like Junior Achievement and the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE). And there is a great deal of curriculum available from large and small publishers. We can help your organization select the activities and curriculum that best fits your needs.
