Our Community
Like-minded founders, mentors, and families growing together across Central Florida.
More Than a Program — A Movement
Young Founders Society is built on a simple idea: entrepreneurship is a team sport. Our community brings together teens, young adults, parents, mentors, and local business leaders who all share one thing — a belief that young people can do extraordinary things when given the right support.
Whether you're joining a Wednesday morning session at The View in Clermont, attending a summer camp workshop at Plant Street Academy, or cheering on a young founder at their first pitch night, you're part of something bigger than any single event. You're part of a community that shows up for each other.
Events & Experiences
From weekly meetups to special community outings, there's always something happening at YFS.
Wednesday Meetups
Every Wednesday at 9 AM at The View in Clermont. Our core weekly gathering where members work on projects, hear from guest speakers, and connect with mentors. Open to all program members.
