Entrepreneurship is particularly powerful for young LGBTQ+ people who often face more discrimination in the workplace and narrower pathways to financial security.
The Renegade Fund is excited to offer a free, one day, two-hour intensive student version of our Entrepreneurship Workshop specifically for high school students. With a dynamic mix of interactive lecture, collaborative brainstorming, and small group breakout sessions, young entrepreneurs will leave this workshop with a full suite of entrepreneurial skills and a clear understanding of what it takes to start and run a successful business.
