This Thanksgiving, we are feeling incredibly grateful for our YEP! family. From our 500 student entrepreneurs to our 93 college volunteers, and to every one of our supporters and guest speakers, your dedication has made our work possible. Your support has allowed us to create a program that nurtures growth, sparks innovation, and gives us the opportunity to learn from the inspiring ideas and passion of the next generation of leaders.

This month, we launched our first New York City entrepreneurship program for over 25 high school students led by our team of Columbia University students. Our students are learning the foundations of entrepreneurship while creating their own ventures. Since our first YEP! event in 2019, Shake Shack has been supporting and fueling our students. A huge thank you to their team for their generosity as we kicked off our first day of programming.

In the Fall of 2023, our YEP! @ Yale University X New HYTEs (New Haven Youth Tennis & Education Inc.) middle school students presented their ventures at The Founder Series. ?? Historically, YEP! has focused on high school students, but our experience with middle school students has shown us that they are filled with limitless ideas and potential. We are excited to continue empowering young entrepreneurs and helping them bring their visions to life. ?? The Founder Series event consisted of others such as Scott Weller(TBD Angels), Stephen Markscheid - 馬學禮, Yevgeny Gelfand, CFA, CAIA(Alumni Ventures), Georgia Paul (Techstars), Mohan Iyer(SOSV), and Mujtaba Wani(GSV Ventures). #YEP #nonprofit #youngentrepreneursprogram #education

We're continually inspired by both our high school students and college leaders, each bringing diverse backgrounds and a shared passion for uplifting young students! Recently, Mason, co-program director of YEP @ Brown University, shared his journey about his company, which stemmed from identifying a community problem: helping people remove and repurpose unwanted items. It's a testament to the power of innovation in addressing community needs. ?? #entrepreneurshipprogram #YoungEntrepreneurProgram #brownu #nonprofit

Last semester, Earth Brands presented at our YEP @ Yale University chapter, sharing their journey from idea inception to prototyping.
