Young Founders School Gala is our annual celebration of youth entrepreneurship, community impact, and the supporters who make our mission possible.

Each year, the Gala brings together students, alumni, educators, industry leaders, and partners to highlight our progress, share powerful stories, and raise funds to expand access to entrepreneurship education for high school students around the world.

It is a night where purpose meets possibility, and where our community comes together to help us reach our long-term goal of empowering 1 million young founders.
