Ownership students graduate with a venture of their creation, their own savings and investment capital, and an ownership mindset that transforms their post-secondary options, self-determination and life trajectory.

Transforming the Post-Secondary Pathway

We believe in College and Entrepreneurship. We work in partnership with public high schools to deliver Ownership’s proprietary curriculum as an elective course along with coaching, mentorship, business investment and college support. We provide additional guidance as students launch their businesses and approach their post-secondary education and life choices. Our holistic ownership model ensures that students are supported with a scaffolded learning experience that transforms what is possible during this critical post-secondary transition.

Asset-Based Ownership & Financial Empowerment

We take an asset-based approach and focus on building on the assets and strengths of our students. With so much untapped potential in our communities and families, we want to make sure that our students have the opportunity to develop their skills and talents into businesses and organizations that can create an expanded definition of wealth for themselves, their families, and their communities. And, we go a step further to support our students in applying themselves toward real ventures with impact, scale and financial return that serve them in every aspect of their lives.

Investor Mentors

Investor Mentors are the engine behind our transformational mission for students to create true Ownership. They play a dual role of both an investor and mentor for students, providing powerful experiences, expertise and exposure. The goal is to shift students' perceptions of the world and their place in it by creating an intentional ecosystem focused on students’ ability to create and invest toward on their respective Ownership paths. Investor Mentors are excited to support and invest in students given how hard they have fought for their own Ownership journeys.
