Ignite Institute

The opportunities our young leaders believe they have, the value they see within themselves, and the support they receive are all critical to who they believe they can be and the change they’re capable of in the world. YLNI has partnered with Founders Spark to put together a summer program where we immerse students in the world of entrepreneurship and the possibilities available to them to impact the world. The schedule will be released when applications open.
