Young Entrepreneur Council

The Young Entrepreneur Council is a nonprofit led by the world’s top, young entrepreneurs. Our mission is to take action against youth unemployment through programs that encourage aspiring entrepreneurs to start their own businesses. It was founded in New York in 2010 by serial entrepreneur and internationally syndicated small business columnist Scott Gerber, author of Never Get a “Real” Job. Our international initiatives include entrepreneurship education, advocacy, mentorship programs, events and healthcare for young entrepreneurs.
