As of 2019, we offer the program throughout 7 regions across Prince Edward Island to provide our youth with the opportunity to develop skills and expand their minds in a fun and stress free environment. The program offers all youth ages 9 - 16 the opportunity to learn about business, their community and themselves. Come join our community. www.youngmillionairesprogram.ca

Successful applicants will receive a grant of up to $150 ($200 for partnerships) to commence their own business and run it through the summer.
