A Partnership to Prepare 60,000 Students for Their Economic Future

Young people are entering an economy where traditional career paths are changing rapidly. Many will become entrepreneurs—by choice or necessity. Nearly all will need the initiative, adaptability and problem-solving skills associated with entrepreneurship.

  • 60,000Estimated income-qualified students in grades 9–12 across the five-county region.
  • 55%Of high-school students want to own a business someday.
  • 93%Of employer businesses across the region have fewer than 50 employees.
  • ✶AI is transforming every industry, reshaping jobs and changing the skills students need to succeed.
Communities have never needed entrepreneurship and AI education more—but cities cannot afford to provide it at scale.
The Opportunity

A partnership between the Hamilton Family Charitable Trust and The Lonely Entrepreneur Foundation would give income-qualified high-school students free access to practical entrepreneurship, career-readiness and AI education.

Multiple Paths to Opportunity

Some students will start businesses. Others will freelance, join family businesses or create their own income when traditional employment is unavailable. Most will work for small organizations where initiative, adaptability and problem-solving are essential.

Skills for Every Student

The objective is not to convince every student to become an entrepreneur. It is to ensure that every participating student develops the skills to create opportunities, contribute inside a small business and adapt as the economy changes.

Five Counties. One Regional Opportunity.

Philadelphia, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery Counties in Pennsylvania—and Camden County, New Jersey.
