From dreamers to doers

Youthpreneurs is a community for young, ambitious, and talented individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds with an entrepreneurial dream. We inspire young people to discover their talents and passions, fine-tune their skills, take their first business steps, and shape their own future.

As an impact-driven organization, we aim to create lasting change in the lives of young people by focusing on their personal and professional growth. To build a thriving business, it's essential that the entrepreneur thrives too. Hand-in-hand with our expertise, we go from dreamers to doers. How do we do that?

"I feel that I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone more, and I am proud of it. I have discovered a different side of myself—one I didn’t even know existed—all thanks to you. I’ve experienced personal growth, and I am truly grateful for everything."
"I never dared to take the step because I was afraid of failing and feared that entrepreneurship wouldn’t be for me. But thanks to Youthpreneurs I realized the contrary!"

Ways to work together

Ateliers by youngsters

In your classroom

Another way to continue stimulating Youthpreneurs is through the monthly workshops. These are workshops given by and for Youthpreneurs. The young person acts as a coach and shares knowledge on specific topics, such as how to create a vision board or what content marketing entails. The workshops stem either from a business idea or from their own (other) interests. We provide the young person with the necessary tools and support to organize a workshop and experiment with the content. After all, young people are known for trying out all sorts of things, making each workshop different!

In addition to our regular programs, we also offer workshops for schools, youth organizations, or institutions. We aim to inspire as many young people as possible, help them discover their own talents, and immerse them in the world of diverse entrepreneurship. You can also engage us at your fairs or events focused on youth entrepreneurship! The main themes we cover include: talent development, introduction to entrepreneurship (the roadmap), diverse entrepreneurship, concept development, and more. Of course, we are also open to offering customized workshops! Are you a teacher or a youth worker and would like to collaborate with us? Contact us via the button!

3 years Youthpreneurs: a reflection

On January 7, 2021, Youthpreneurs was launched. At that time, #SheDIDIT had been around for almost three years, and we had met many talented young women who needed coaching. We wanted to fulfill this need using various methodologies and our vision of entrepreneurship. The result was Youthpreneurs, and in 2023, we looked back on three years! In the document, we take you through the founding story, the personal growth of our youth, the numbers, and much more. As a reader or potential Youthpreneur it gives you an insight into our world where we focus on turning dreamers into doers.
