The Entrepreneurship Lab: San Bernardino Youth Cohort

The Entrepreneurship Lab by Children Striving Together is an 8-week hands-on program designed to introduce youth to the world of entrepreneurship, leadership, and financial literacy. Through engaging workshops, real-world activities, and mentorship, students will learn how to take an idea and turn it into a business, building confidence, creativity, and critical life skills along the way.

Youth Ages: 5-17 for Elementary, Middle, and High School students

What makes this program special?

Students don’t just learn, they build, create, and present.

At the end of the program, participants will showcase their business ideas in a Pitch Competition, where they can win prizes and gain real-world experience presenting their ideas. The youth will also participate in a team-building field trip as long as they attend at least 75% of the workshops.
