The UF Young Entrepreneurs for Leadership & Sustainability Summer Program Summer Program
This is picture 1

The UF Young Entrepreneurs for Leadership & Sustainability summer program gives college bound high school students the opportunity to live, work, eat, and play on the campus of the University of Florida for four weeks each summer while learning about entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship, being inspired to solve social problems, and practicing sustainability. We empower students to become leaders and changemakers.

For 10 summers, from 2007 - 2016, YELS ran and impact the lives of 374 high school students. Please read our infographic about the impacts we've made over those ten years. Due to the generosity of our many supporters and friends, we are able to offer scholarships to students who would otherwise be unable to afford this life-changing experience.

YELS is now on hiatus as we focus on growing UF's Social Impact & Sustainability Initiative for undergraduate & graduate students.

We are sponsored by the Social Impact & Sustainability Initiative of the Entrepreneurship & Innovation Center in the Warrington College of Business Administration at the University of Florida.
