The Freedom Fund: Investing in Young Futures

Empowering the Next Generation: A Vision for Change

At Young Entrepreneur Start-Ups, we believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to shape their own future—regardless of the circumstances they were born into. We have made it our mission to equip and empower young entrepreneurs with the skills, mindset, and tools they need to create businesses that not only provide financial freedom but also foster innovation, sustainability, and positive change in the world.

For too many young people—those in the care system, young offenders, and those facing disadvantages—life has been shaped by limitations rather than possibilities. But we see their potential, not their past. We see world-changers, innovators, and future leaders who, when given the right support, can break cycles of poverty, struggle, and systemic failure.

That is why we have committed to gifting our courses to young people who need it most. Our goal is to provide them with more than just business education—we want to give them a blueprint for freedom. Through our program, they will learn essential life and work skills, gain confidence in their abilities, and develop the entrepreneurial mindset needed to take control of their futures. 

Why We Do This

I (Michelle) know firsthand what it means to overcome adversity. My own journey through extremely testing circumstances in my teenage years, and as a disadvantaged youth in care, has been shaped by resilience, by the struggle to create something meaningful despite obstacles, and by the belief that no one’s circumstances should define their future.

Entrepreneurship gave me a way out—a way to rewrite my story. Now, I am committed to passing that on to the next generation, especially those who have been failed by traditional systems.

We are not just teaching young people how to start businesses; we are teaching them how to dream, how to believe in themselves, and how to contribute meaningfully to society. By equipping them with these tools, we are not just changing their individual futures—we are creating ripple effects of transformation that will touch families, communities, and entire generations.

 

How Businesses & Sponsors Can Help

We cannot do this alone. We are calling on businesses, visionaries, entrepreneurs, and changemakers who believe in the power of opportunity to join us in this mission. By partnering with us, you are investing in the future of young people who may otherwise be overlooked.

Your support can help us:

  • Provide scholarships for young offenders, homeless youth, and those in care, or any youth in challenging circumstances.

  • Offer mentorship programs that connect young people with real-world business leaders.

  • Create pathways for internships, apprenticeships, and career-building opportunities.

  • Expand our reach so that more young people can access our life-changing programs.

By supporting this initiative, you are not just giving young people a second chance—you are giving them a whole new beginning.

Together, We Can Change Lives

This is more than a course.

This is a movement.

A movement that redefines what is possible for young people who have been told ‘no’ too many times. A movement that turns hardship into strength, struggle into purpose and dreams into reality.

Join us in creating a future where every young person has the chance to build, thrive, and give back to society.

If you are a business or organisation that wants to be part of this vision, we would love to connect. Together, we can turn the tide for young entrepreneurs who need it most.

Let’s change the world—one young entrepreneur at a time.
