Applications are now open for the second cohort of Seeds of Success: Youth Business Lab, a hands-on program designed for high school students ready to turn ideas into real business ventures.

Do you have an entrepreneurial spirit or a business idea you’ve been wanting to build? Join us for a dynamic experience where students explore branding, discover their “why,” learn financial literacy, and gain real-world insight from local entrepreneurs and professionals. Through mentorship, collaboration, and culturally relevant learning, participants will develop the skills to grow into purpose-driven leaders.

The program will culminate in a graduation and pitch competition, where students present their business ideas for a chance to win prizes.

📍 The Lab at ConnCORP, 496 Newhall St, Hamden, CT
📅 October 6 – November 17 | Tuesdays & Thursdays
⏰ 3:30 – 6:30 PM
