About the Course

KICK START YOUR TEEN'S ENTREPRENEURIAL JOURNEY TODAY!

Teen Entrepreneurs is an empowering and comprehensive course designed to teach teens and high school students the essential aspects of launching a business, while also instilling the principles of social responsibility.

Throughout this dynamic course, students will dive deep into the world of entrepreneurship. They will explore key concepts such as identifying market opportunities, developing a unique value proposition, creating a compelling brand, and building a strong customer base. We will guide them through real-world examples and engaging exercises, providing them with a hands-on learning experience.

We also focus on the social impact of entrepreneurship. As part of the course, students will have the opportunity to connect with an international organization dedicated to a cause that is close to their heart. Together, they will collaborate and raise funds to support this cause, contributing to a greater purpose and leaving a lasting impact. We have previously partnered with Doctors without Borders, Musicians without Borders, Caritas, UNICEF, UNHCR and many more.
