OUR MISSION
Talent is everywhere. Opportunity isn't.
Young Founders Foundation opens doors for underserved kids across Central Florida. Through scholarships, mentorship, and hands-on learning, we help young people build leadership, money skills, and the confidence to chase what they dream up. Cost should never be the reason a kid sits out.
Where your gift goes
Life Skills & Mentorship
Help young people build confidence and skills they can use throughout their lives. Your donation supports hands-on classes in financial literacy, communication, leadership, and entrepreneurship, along with guidance from mentors who help students recognize their potential and explore new possibilities.
Tools for Learning
Give students the resources to turn ideas into action. Your donation helps provide classroom supplies, curriculum, technology, and project materials making hands-on learning accessible to young people whose families may otherwise struggle to afford these opportunities.
A Place to Grow
Help create a welcoming place where young people feel supported and connected. Your donation helps cover the cost of teaching spaces where students can build friendships, work alongside mentors, and develop skills that open doors to their future.
A Youth Foundation Built for Central Florida Families
Young Founders Foundation serves youth in Lake and Orange counties, Florida, with a focus on underserved families facing financial barriers to enrichment opportunities. Through accessible life skills classes, entrepreneurship education, leadership development, and mentorship, we help young people build confidence, discover their strengths, and prepare for their futures.
who we serve
BE A FOUNDING DONOR
Founding Campaign
Young Founders Foundation is brand new. We haven't awarded our first scholarship yet, and that's exactly why your gift matters right now.
Founding donors fund our very first scholarships, mentors, and workshops. When the first student walks through our doors, it will be because you helped open them.
Â
Founding donors are recognized on our Founders Wall.
