StartUP FIU Youth Entrepreneurship Program
Create your own path.
We aim for K-12 students to walk away from our program feeling empowered to solve problems while creating and capturing value for society.
Our Program
The StartUP FIU Youth Entrepreneurship Program is a transformational experiential learning program that prepares today’s youth for entrepreneurial pursuits. Our students develop into “future ready” citizens who can readily transition to post-high school education or alternatives such as entrepreneurship, small business management, and emerging workforce positions.
This program is a proof point for what is possible when we work together to co-create pathways for prosperity in Miami with students, school districts, businesses, and the community.
Our Vision
The Youth Entrepreneurship Program’s vision is to provide K-12 students with the opportunity to be micro entrepreneurs while creating wealth for themselves by learning and utilizing technologies and digital media platforms.
Aiming for the Stars
Our aim is to develop our students into “future ready” individuals. At YEP we nurture the culture of entrepreneurship by exploring and connecting Miami’s youth to income generating opportunities in the digital economy.
We strive to ensure that each student that walks away from our program feels empowered enough to solve their own problems by creating and capturing value for society through self employment.
