Cultivating Essential Life Skills
The Young Entrepreneurs Program goes beyond traditional education by instilling critical life skills such as creativity, problem-solving, communication, and resilience. Through hands-on activities, workshops, and interactive learning modules, we aim to equip children with the skills they need to thrive in an ever-evolving world.
Nurturing Creativity and Innovation
We believe in nurturing the innate creativity of children. Our program encourages out-of-the-box thinking, allowing young participants to explore their imaginations and develop innovative solutions to real-world challenges. By fostering a culture of innovation, we prepare kids for the complexities of the future job market.
Real-world Application of Knowledge
Young Entrepreneurs Program is not just about theoretical concepts; it is about application. We guide children through the process of turning their ideas into tangible projects. Whether it's a small business, a community initiative, or a creative venture, participants learn by doing, reinforcing the practical application of knowledge.
Building Confidence and Resilience
Entrepreneurship is as much about overcoming challenges as it is about seizing opportunities. Through our program, kids learn to embrace failure as a stepping stone to success, building resilience and developing the confidence to tackle obstacles head-on. These skills are invaluable not only in entrepreneurship but in all aspects of life.
Fostering a Sense of Social Responsibility
Beyond individual success, we emphasize the importance of social responsibility. Young Entrepreneurs Program are encouraged to think about the impact of their ventures on the community and the world. We aim to cultivate a sense of empathy and responsibility, instilling in children the understanding that their actions can make a positive difference.

FAQ : Frequently Answered Questions
No. Kids are naturally creative and entrepreneurial and enjoy learning about the world around them. Running a business requires a variety of different skills, and kids, just like business owners, aren’t expected to be good at everything. Most kids really enjoy making the products and the creative side of the marketing, while others really love learning about the numbers and how to make a profit. The young entrepreneur program is meant to be an enjoyable, rewarding experience that provides kids with some real world knowledge and skills, and also a sense of pride and accomplishment upon completion.
We provide problem statements to solve and the participants can create their products and services. They can choose to solve problem statement Innovate and build off the idea or they come up with an idea of their own.
Kids can start at with any age group and can take the entrepreneurship programs for one term, or year after year to build and develop their skills – and their businesses. Returning students can continue to build the business they started the previous term, or they can apply some of the skills they’ve learned to start an entirely new business.
Kids are naturally entrepreneurial. Some important traits entrepreneurs posses, which many parents are familiar with include :
- Creativity
- Passion/excitement for ideas and activities
- Challenges rules that don’t seem to make sense
- High energy
- Perseverance
- Risk taking
- Curiosity
Sometimes what may seem troublesome, ie. challenging rules, can actually be a form of creativity and entrepreneurial intellect.
No past experience is needed to support kids through our programs. The concepts are easy to grasp and applicable to our day-to-day lives. We provide resources for parents to stay in the loop throughout the entrepreneur program, including email updates and summaries of key concepts, and ways to help draw connections to support their learning throughout the week.
Parents can suggest ideas if they think it’s important to do so, but should let the kids lead the process as much as possible. It’s ok to help them with something they may be struggling with, like a step in their product assembly or the creation of their marketing materials, but it’s best to let them come up with most of the ideas on their own and make the final decisions as it relates to the creative aspects of their business.
Kids need to feel empowered and learn that making mistakes is ok. There are no overnight successes, good things take time and effort, and learning from mistakes is an important part of the process. That said, this should be a fun experience for the kids, nothing should be stressful or overwhelming, so parents should support kids as needed. If in doubt, please feel free to call or send us an email to discuss.
Our facilitators come with varied backgrounds; from educators, to business people and entrepreneurs. Most importantly, they are all outgoing lesson instructors, activity planners, and creativity seekers who engage kids with our easy-to-use materials and make the learning process fun. They’re inspiring and passionate about making a difference in the lives of children as they teach YEP Learning Labs’ innovative curriculum in a creative way, tailored to the age group.
