Youth Entrepreneurship Program with Ownership is the Future

Ownership Is The Future is recruiting Harlem young people ages 16–24 for its Fall 2026 Community Fellowship. The after-school program begins September 28, 2026 at 4:00 PM at Goddard Riverside Options Center and runs through December. Participants will start with their strengths, identity, interests, and lived experience and use them as a foundation to develop something of their own. Through hands-on entrepreneurship, coaching, mentorship, customer discovery, and venture-building, young people will develop and test a business idea, build a product or service, make real financial decisions, and ultimately launch a real business. Eligible participants may receive up to $1,000 in funding to support their venture. Learn more and apply via the virtual application. For questions, contact samella@ownershipisthefuture.org
