YouthBiz 20: Celebrating 20 years of Big Ideas!
For 20 years, YouthBiz has been inspiring young entrepreneurs across southeast Saskatchewan to turn their ideas into action. This exciting program gives students in Grades 6 – 12 the opportunity to explore entrepreneurship, develop creative business ideas, and learn valuable skills in planning, marketing, problem-solving, and innovation.
To celebrate this incredible milestone, YouthBiz 20 is bigger and better than ever! This year, we are challenging students to think creatively, solve real-world problems, and imagine the businesses of the future. Whether it's creating a product, developing a service, using technology and AI, supporting agriculture, or helping strengthen rural communities, students have the opportunity to showcase their ideas and entrepreneurial spirit.
Over the past 20 years, YouthBiz has celebrated thousands of students who have shared their creativity, passion, and determination to make a difference. We are excited to continue this tradition by encouraging the next generation of entrepreneurs, innovators, and community leaders to dream big and show us what they can create.
