Your ideas will change the world. Let’s explore what God has
created for you.

Our two programs will help you discover your purpose and your passion.
We want to explore the opportunities God has for you and prepare you for your journey.

THE ENTREPRENEURSHIP LAB

We believe that high school students have ideas that will change the world, so we want to equip them to start making that change today.

The Entrepreneurship Lab (E-Lab) is designed for high school entrepreneurs to imagine ideas and invent possible solutions that serve the common good and advance God’s work in the world. You can think of ideas for anything you are passionate about or want to learn more about. Your ideas will be fine tuned to make them ready to implement whenever you are!

DISCERN YOUR CALLING

One way to discern what God is calling you to do is to consider the look out, look in, look up framework. This means…

YLI - Look Up
YLI - Look In
YLI - Look Out

THE ELAB EXPERIENCE

The eLab experience gives students amazing opportunities to research, prototype, and innovate. Interactive seminars and incredible guest speakers guide students through the process of refining their ideas. Throughout the eLab experience, students will have entrepreneurship coaches helping answer questions and guiding them towards opportunities to learn more about your passions.

Note: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the eLab 2021 will take place virtually.

WHO SHOULD REGISTER

The eLab experience was designed for high school students who are passionate about Kingdom-minded entrepreneurship and/or who have great ideas to help their church and communities.

The YLI staff and other talented speakers and experienced entrepreneurs will teach these students how to make their ideas a reality.
