The UF Young Entrepreneurs for Leadership & Sustainability summer program gives college bound high school students the opportunity to live, work, eat, and play on the campus of the University of Florida for five weeks each summer while learning about entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship, being inspired to solve social problems, and practicing sustainability. We empower students to become leaders and changemakers.

Our 5th annual program concluded with our Awards Lunch Celebration on Friday, July 29th, with almost 200 guests gathered in the Presidents room of Emerson Alumni Hall. We are now preparing for our 6th annual program during Summer 2012. Applications will be processed on a rolling basis beginning January 1. We will give you a shout with Application reminders if you complete the Interested Form.

Our 2012 staff will include some of our 150 Alumni (from 2007-2011), many of whom are now undergraduates studying at UF and other prestigious universities such as Emory, Duke, and the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania.

We are sponsored by the Innovative Sustainability & Social Entrepreneurship Initiative of the Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation at the University of Florida. Due to the generosity of our many supporters and friends, we are able to offer full and partial scholarships to students who would otherwise be unable to afford this life-changing experience.
