Our Programs
Hands-on entrepreneurship experiences for every age and stage, from curious kids to ambitious young adults.
Founder Lab
Ages 15-24
Founder Lab is where ideas meet action. This mentorship-driven program pairs young entrepreneurs with experienced founders who guide them through real projects — from ideation and market research to launch and customer acquisition.
Members learn business fundamentals hands-on: how to identify opportunities, build a brand, make sales, manage finances, and present their work with confidence. This isn't a simulation — it's the real thing.
Schedule: Wednesdays at 9 AM at The View, Clermont • Daily at Plant Street Academy, 855 E Plant St Ste 900, Winter Garden, FL 34787
Junior Program
Ages 9-14
The Junior Program is where curiosity meets creativity. Designed for younger members, this program introduces life skills, leadership, and early entrepreneurial thinking through fun, engaging activities.
Juniors work on creative projects, learn teamwork, practice public speaking, and start thinking like founders — all in a supportive, age-appropriate environment that builds real confidence.
