Description

Where young minds learn to build with purpose and lead with integrity.

This program is for youth ages 12 – 18 who are ready to think deeply, act with intention, and build something meaningful.

Over the course of twelve Sundays, participants will move from having no prior knowledge of business to launching their own venture. Along the way, they’ll develop not just practical skills, but also the mindset and discipline that shape thoughtful, values-driven leaders.

Each session is two hours long starting at 10:00AM and includes light assignments for the following week designed to reinforce learning without interfering with schoolwork. These tasks are meant to replace time often lost to distractions, helping participants use their energy more purposefully.

Weekly Progression

Each week builds on the last, guiding participants through the full arc of business creation:

Over twelve weeks, participants will move from foundational values to real-world execution. They’ll explore the purpose of business, learn how to create meaningful value, and build ventures that reflect clarity, integrity, and service. Along the way, they’ll gain practical skills in branding, finance, operations, communication, and sales; culminating in a public launch and a plan for long-term impact. By the end, they’ll not only understand how to earn and manage money, but how to use it as a tool for contribution and growth.
