Student Summer Ventures 2026 | Global Youth Entrepreneurship
Forget the "Summer Camp": Why Student Summer Ventures is the Ultimate Global Launchpad
What if this summer wasn’t just about having “something to do,” but about building something that lasts?
Our beloved Student Summer Ventures program is back—and this year, it’s bigger than ever. For the first time since our very first cohort in 2021, we are opening our doors beyond specific regions and partnerships to welcome students from around the world. Mark your calendars: Our 2026 global cohort officially kicks off on June 23!
A Truly Global Classroom: From Canada to Kenya and Beyond
What started as a single cohort has now supported young people across Canada and the United States. This year, we are officially borderless. We are reaching further than ever, with students already joining us from Kenya 🇰🇪 and various other international locations.
Whether your child is in North America, Africa, Europe, or anywhere in between, they can join this 100% virtual experience. This isn't just a class; it’s a global meeting ground for the next generation of leaders.
From "I Don't Know Where to Start" to "I Just Launched"
This isn’t your typical summer camp. It is a 6-week intensive experience where young people (ages 10–18+) are encouraged to take their ideas seriously. We help students bridge the gap between a vague interest and a tangible result.
Through the program, students:
✔ Take Their Ideas Seriously: Moving past "just a hobby" into actual business creation.
✔ Learn to Think Like Creators: Shifting from consuming content to solving real-world problems.
✔ Build Something Real: Developing a tangible product, service, or community initiative.
✔ Step Into New Confidence: An incredible 80–90% of our students successfully launch their own ventures by the end of the six weeks.
The Secret Sauce: The B.O.S.S.™ Framework
The core of our success lies in our proprietary B.O.S.S. Framework, which gives students a repeatable roadmap for success regardless of their location:
B – Believe It: Cultivating the mindset of a founder and overcoming the fear of starting.
O – Observe the World: Identifying gaps and needs within their specific community.
S – Shape Solutions: Building a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and learning the basics of budgeting.
S – Share: Mastering the art of the pitch and digital storytelling to reach a global audience.
Why This Summer is Special
Student Summer Ventures has always been a special project for The YOU Power Project, but 2026 marks our full move to the global stage. Whether your child wants to start a local service business, launch a digital app, or lead a social movement, they will find the international mentorship and peer support they need here.
If your child is ready for more than just a "time-filler" this summer, this is where it starts.
Enrollment is Now Open Globally
The 2026 journey begins on June 23rd. We invite families from every corner of the globe to join this growing movement of young entrepreneurs.
